Cat knows aliens are real, and she\u2019s determined to prove it. By studying the Weston Farm Circles, her town\u2019s legendary crop circle phenomenon, she\u2019ll not only demonstrate the existence of extraterrestrial life, but also win the grand prize in the McMurray Youth Science Competition\u2014a feat she\u2019s sure will impress her distant NASA scientist father.
Dani most certainly does not believe in aliens. How can she, when they go against every scientific principle she\u2019s been taught? So when Dani is paired with Cat to enter the McMurray Youth Science Competition\u2014which she has to win to avoid going to her parents\u2019 artsy summer camp\u2014she knows she\u2019s at a disadvantage. Her solution? Disprove Cat\u2019s theory, of course . . . without telling her partner her true intentions.
But as the girls bond over science, it becomes clear that there is something strange about the Weston Farm Circles. And when Dani and Cat\u2019s project is threatened by suspicious forces, they\u2019ll have to work together to expose the truth, once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
