Kelly Donovan wants to save the Earth from aliens, but her plan has a serious snag—she needs to do it before bedtime.It’s been a few weeks since the Nolmek scattered giant crystals around the world that unintentionally gave some people super powers. They also nearly eliminated war and shared technology to solve famine, drought, and pollution, so pretty much everyone loves them. Alas, the aliens … the aliens didn’t visit Earth purely out of kindness.
They needed a primitive species to enslave.
Kelly discovers they’re speeding up their plans, already abducting people from the super-prison right out from under the cops’ noses, the same prison her mad-scientist father is stuck in. She’s desperate to protect him, but unfortunately, no one is willing to believe the Nolmek could be bad guys. Worse, they know she’s on to them.
If she can’t find proof of the aliens’ plan, stop the invasion, and be in bed before nine, she faces worse than the enslavement of humanity—she’ll be grounded.

While not my usual genre, I thoroughly enjoyed Kelly and her friends adventure with the Nolmek. There’s never a dull moment, lots of witty sarcasm and humor, and I got a kick out of the references made to celebrities and shows with names just a little off. I need to back and read book 1, but not having read it first did not make the story hard to follow. This is a fun book for all ages.
Kelly and her friend Paige must stick together. With the aliens on earth making everyone think they are here to help us but secretly taking humans hostage so they can work in the mines on their planet. She misses her real parents even though she has robot mom it’s not the same. This was a great book with great characters loved the first book and this was a great second can’t wait for more from the author.
This was a fun read but you need to read this series in order to understand what is going on. I don’t want to give things away but Kelly is lonely because of all the events that happened in the first book and aliens are pretending to help humans and no one believes Kelly when she says they are using humans for other purposes. I have never been disappointed by a Matthew S. Cox book and this one was no different. It was written for older children but kept my attention because it was so interesting and the writing transported me right into the story. I look forward to the next book in the series.
