First in a brilliant new series perfect for fans of laugh-out-loud school adventures like Jedi Academy and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

D.J. and his friend Gina are totally normal kids. Until a mysterious boy comes crashing down from the sky and nearly blows up their club house!

Hilo doesn´t know where he came from, or what he´s doing on Earth (or why going to school in only your underwear is a bad idea!) but he´s starting to think he might not be the only alien to have crash-landed on our planet.

Can the trio unlock the secrets of his past? Can Hilo survive a day at school? And are D.J. and Gina ready to save the world?

´Every kid would love a pal like Hilo, and every kid will love this book!´ - Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate
