SLEEPERS, Book 1, The Blue Planets World Series
What if alien refugees were already living in Earth's oceans-and you were one of them?
Jake Rose can breathe underwater. That's not exactly normal for a seventh-grader living on Bainbridge Island, but then again, Jake isn't exactly normal. He's half-human, half-alien, with gills hidden beneath his shirt and a secret that could change everything.
His home planet Rison is dying-literally imploding from a science experiment gone catastrophically wrong. Jake's alien mother, Ambassador Dayexi Quad-de, is desperately negotiating with Earth's governments to let her people settle peacefully in the oceans. It should be simple: Risonians need water, Earth has plenty of it, and nobody gets hurt.
But someone wants to start a war instead.
When Jake stumbles upon a terrifying conspiracy to sabotage Mount Rainier and trigger a massive volcanic eruption, he realizes the truth: Earth's elite ELLIS forces plan to frame the peaceful Risonian refugees, turning them from desperate survivors into dangerous invaders. One fake alien attack is all it takes to justify a genocide.
Then Jake's mother disappears. Kidnapped. And suddenly, this isn't just about saving two worlds-it's about saving the only family he has left.
Armed with abilities that make him perfectly suited for both land and sea, Jake must navigate deadly government conspiracies, underwater alien technology, and the impossible choice between the planet that raised him and the planet that might become his home. Because when you're caught between two worlds, sometimes you're the only one who can save both.
Perfect for readers who devour:
- Middle grade science fiction adventures that feel believable
- Alien contact stories with real consequences
- Underwater fantasy and ocean-based adventures
- Action-packed chapter books for ages 8-14
