An alien child. A secret friendship. An adventure that will change two worlds forever.

Thirteen-year-old Kara Wright has always wondered whether life exists beyond Earth. But when a mysterious spacecraft crashes near London, she discovers that the answer is closer than she ever imagined.

Hidden beneath the waters of a quiet lake is Anokhi, a remarkable young alien with luminous pink skin, extraordinary powers and a heartbreaking secret. Her home planet, Timbukkia, has been destroyed, and she has been separated from everyone she loves.

Kara knows she cannot abandon her.

As their unlikely friendship grows, Kara discovers that Anokhi can communicate through thoughts, turn invisible and heal the injured. But such extraordinary abilities attract dangerous attention.

Two ruthless hunters are searching for Anokhi, and they will stop at nothing to capture her.

With only her courage, her quick thinking and a very opinionated hamster named Nibbles to help her, Kara must protect her new friend while navigating dangerous forests, narrow escapes and a desperate race through London.

Yet the greatest challenge may not be escaping the hunters.

It may be discovering what true friendship demands when protecting someone means risking everything - even losing them.
