A hilarious middle-grade alien invasion adventure
My Cat Came from Outer Space is a hilarious adventure that follows 11-year-old Emma Price and her friends as they accidentally become Earth’s last line of defense against an adorable alien invasion.
When a mysterious meteor shower brings Commander Fluffington and his Feline Imperial Armada crash-landing in Middleton, Earth’s fate hangs in the balance—and it’s fluffy, orange, and absolutely irresistible. Using weaponized cuteness and mind-control purring, these alien cats begin converting humans into devoted servants, starting with Emma herself.
Her best friends Jake, Madison, and Tyler watch in horror as their science-loving, rational friend transforms into a cat-worshipping zombie.
