Thirteen-year-old Ben Archer has accepted a mind-boggling challenge: to help restore the balance between humans and the natural world. But after a near brush with death in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things only get worse when his alien skill attracts the attention of Jeremy Michaels, a reporter from the Provincial Times.
At first, slipping away to a small coastal town for a summer camp seems like a good idea. But Ben's hopes of a discreet vacation come to an abrupt end when an unprecedented event rocks the town, leaving him with a nail-biting dilemma.
Should he reveal himself or not?
