The alien invasion is upon us! At least, that's what twelve-year-old Marv thinks when a mysterious craft appears in the woods behind his house. If there's one thing he's learned from his trusty alien invasion guidebook, it's that ETs are just as likely to land in your backyard as they are on the front lawn of the White House.
A plot to take over the planet is the only logical explanation for what's going on. Why else would a suited pilot chase Marv and his friends through the woods? What else could explain the creepy leech-like creatures attached to the hull of the ship? As if that wasn't enough, the recently moved-in next-door neighbor girl and her dad seem to be directly connected to the alien conspiracy.
The National Guard won't take his calls seriously. His family thinks he's making everything up. Marv and his friends are on their own if they want to stop the invaders from Pluto-unless that mysterious red pickup truck that keeps driving by is somehow involved in all this, too.
But Marv is wrong. The threat is real, but the aliens aren't. And getting mixed up with the wrong people might still result in an abduction...
