Thirteen year old Sophina Murray lost her dad two months ago when he never returned from the sea and her once favorite science teacher had just left her position at her school and never returned.  Mrs. Tanner never even came over to her house to offer her sympathy and she acted weird which was so not like her!  One night she heard her little six year old brother racing down the stairs yelling, and she leaped out of bed to go after him but was unprepared for what she saw that led him out the back door.  The thing wore a cloak, had hideous red eyes, and coaxed Eliot away and no matter how much she screamed at him to stop, Eliot never slowed down until a blinding white light open in her backyard and Eliot ran into it chasing the monster, then the light faded leaving her in the dark and pouring rain....T. S. Graham spins an intriguing YA story that peaked my interest from the beginning and I was caught up in the two alien races, their animals, plants, and insects that look like a horrible nightmare!  Sophina knows that Mrs. Tanner knows something about Eliot's disappearance and when she learns that two more little children are now missing as well, she is determined to get to the bottom of it.
