In the first book of this middle grade sci-fi series, a teen gains alien superpowers that make him popular at school, but put him in mortal danger.   Dweeb . . . Dork . . . These are names Ethan Rogers is used to being called in the halls of Metier Junior High. It’s safe to say that he’s an outcast. Outside of a brainy clique of nerds, Ethan doesn’t have many friends. Still, there are advantages to being from his small Wisconsin town, like Metier’s weird history of UFO sightings. For a comic book geek like Ethan, the possibility of seeing an alien is pretty awesome. Until he looks in the mirror on his thirteenth birthday and discovers he is an alien.   At first, it’s not as bad as it seems. Ethan suddenly has powers greater than some of his favorite superheroes. Beating the school bully in a fight is pretty rad. And when Ethan foils a robbery attempt, he becomes a local hero. But being in the spotlight isn’t easy for Ethan, especially when he learns his kind has been targeted for termination . . .

Only Ashley is anything but ordinary. On the night of her thirteenth birthday, she falls through the ice into the town''s reservoir, the one where UFO sightings allegedly happen. Not only does Ashley survive the frigid water against all odds, but she suddenly has powers beyond her wildest imaginings. Her supersonic hearing comes in handy at school, and the fact that she can now breathe underwater makes her the new star of the swim team. But her powers come with a price, because now that Ashley has alien blood, she also has extraterrestrial enemies who will stop at nothing to kill her.

That is until the day he gets hit in the head with a baseball and wakes up with the mysterious ability to speak and understand any language. Was he suffering from a concussion? Or something more sinister? When his weirdo classmates Ashley and Ethan try to tell him he might be an alien, Jack is ready to shrug them off. But then he overhears someone talking about him in a language he''s never heard before, one that isn''t even human. And that someone is planning to kill him. Suddenly Jack is looking to the last two people he''d ever befriend for help: Ethan and Ashley. After all, aliens need to stick together if they hope to stay alive . . .

Metier is a UFO hotspot, after all. Until one day, Todd is found alive beside the town reservoir. Everyone wants to know where the thirteen-year-old has been. Only Todd doesn''t remember anything, except for the light that filled the sky moments before he disappeared . . . Now Todd is beginning to wonder what happened. Especially when some of his classmates claim that he is an alien now—like them. Todd isn''t ready to believe them. Until he feels the power surging in his body and his shape beginning to shift. He morphs into a creature that he can only call otherworldly, a creature who will have to fight to survive the danger surrounding him . . .

In the sixth book of this middle grade sci-fi series, a teen-turned-alien gains high-voltage powers to zap her enemies, if they don''t get her first. Up until her thirteenth birthday, Toni Douglas''s only superpower was shopping. But on the very day she''s celebrating becoming a teenager with a trip to the mall, she gets arrested for shoplifting! As if! Then a gang of kids come after her for no apparent reason. Good thing a bolt of lightning zaps those jerks before they could get their hands on her. It''s like a birthday wish come true—until Toni realizes the bolt didn''t come from the sky, but from her. Toni''s electrifying new life should be exciting, only it''s anything but.

In the seventh book of this middle grade sci-fi series, teens with superpowers hijack a UFO and fly to a futuristic Earth controlled by aliens. After discovering they are part alien, Ethan, Ashley, Jack, and Toni thought nothing worse could ever happen to them. Until an enemy attack sends them on the run—and right onto their adversary''s spaceship! It seems like the perfect escape plan. When the ship lands and the hatch opens, the kids discover they are right back in their hometown of Metier, Wisconsin. Or rather, a future version of their hometown. The mall where they used to hang out has been shattered by extraterrestrial warfare. With the aliens now in charge, the teens will have to band together in order to survive. Ethan is most comfortable stepping into the solitary role of leader, but he discovers he may need his friends like he never has before. Jack and Toni are at each other throats. Ashley is running scared. They need to figure out how to fight back as a team fast, because it''s going to take all their collective powers to keep them from the aliens'' clutches . . .

In the eighth book of this middle grade sci-fi series, superpowered teens must save the Earth''s future from dangerous mutants by traveling to the past. Trapped on a futuristic Earth, Ethan, Ashley, Toni, and Jack must battle earthquakes, giant rats, and a ruling superhuman race of Omegas, in order to stay alive. And failure is not an option, as the teens might be Earth''s only hope to return to the haven it once was. The plan? Dodge the Omegas and the quakes—and the huge rodents—long enough to make it back to the time machine that got them here in the first place. If the gang can make it back to the past, they can create the kind of future on Earth where they—and others like them—might actually want to live. Their mission has one pretty major complication. The time machine is located in the Omegas'' headquarters, and the only way to get to it is to step right into the hands of the enemy.

In the ninth book of this middle grade sci-fi series, teens time travel to find the scientist who can help them save their home planet. Ethan, Ashley, Toni, and Jack used to be ordinary junior high schoolers in a small Wisconsin town. Until they turned thirteen and developed superpowers, a genetic inheritance from the Alpha race who gave them life. But their Alpha parents disappeared before they could protect their children from the Omegas, a mutant race determined to do away with any remaining Alphas and take complete control of Earth. So now the teens have to finish the job their parents couldn''t. Time traveling to the past, they locate the scientist who created the Omegas, hoping to change the past for a better future. But finding the scientist is one thing. Convincing him to undo what may have been his greatest genetic engineering experiment is quite another. But then again, these are no ordinary teenagers . . .
