One's a handsome leader. One's a rebel with an empathy streak a mile wide. And one's a genius inventor too dumb to realize when he's insulting half the planet. Together, the make up the West Coast division of the Committee. Think the teenage version of Men In Black... if the MIB had been aliens. When a prison barge crash-lands at an uber-preppy school, the trio must go undercover to find the homicidal escapee. The fate of the world depends on them.Screenwriter and first-time novelist Leigh Dunlap has delivered a fun, fast-paced book about teenage angst and alien conquest.  The character of Mom is particularly brilliant. I do have some stylistic quibbles with the book, but they're probably not things that your normal non-word-choice-obsessed reader will care about, or perhaps even notice.  All in all, a great book straddling the middle grade and young adult categories. I'm looking forward to the sequel.I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bookrooster in order to review it.
