Wyatt Ricardo thought his biggest problem was being grounded. Then his mom vanished, and a talking alien bear-cat showed up claiming she's a galactic queen.
Now Wyatt's thirteenth birthday is only days away, and the truth is out. He's not just an ordinary kid. He's royalty from a distant planet. With the evil Grools closing in, his mom missing, and his powers beginning to awaken, Wyatt has a lot to learn-and fast.
Thankfully, he's not alone. His brave stepsister Addy and a shape-shifting warrior named Blairgorx (who goes by Joe Coffee) are ready to help. Together, they'll face secret training missions, sarcastic stepbrothers, clueless teachers, and possibly intergalactic war, all while trying to survive middle school.
Can Wyatt unlock his powers in time to rescue his mom and save two worlds? Or will the Grools catch him before he's ready to fight back?
Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Galaxy Zack, this laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure blends family, friendship, and courage with a touch of cosmic chaos.
