Publisher's Synopsis
When a mysterious new student, Pax, arrives at Lincoln Middle School, Sam Waverly immediately senses there's something otherworldly about him. Pax's flawless posture, peculiar mannerisms, and unnervingly calm demeanor set him apart from his classmates. He moves with precision, speaks with unsettling formality, and seems fascinated by the simplest objects-like water fountains and soccer balls. Whispers spread quickly: Is Pax from a foreign country? Is he part of some secret program? Or is he something else entirely?
As strange events continue to unfold, Sam's curiosity transforms into an astonishing discovery. Pax isn't just new to the school-he's not even from this planet. He's an alien with a mysterious past and a critical mission. However, Pax's arrival has not gone unnoticed by dark forces. Intergalactic bounty hunters, skilled in tracking rare energy signatures, have arrived on Earth, determined to capture Pax and claim the secret he carries-an ancient alien artifact with the potential to reshape the galaxy.
Drawn into Pax's world of danger and wonder, Sam finds himself swept into an extraordinary adventure that blurs the lines between reality and the fantastical. The deeper he dives into Pax's secret, the more he realizes that Earth may be home to more than meets the eye.
