Earthborn

Synopsis

Nesta Gwynn has always known that her parents are different. She thinks it's because they're from Boston instead of the little town in England where Nesta was born and where she's always lived. But at the age of twelve, Nesta discovers that her parents aren't really from Boston. In fact, they're not from Earth. They're aliens from the planet Ormingat, and -- even though she was born on Earth -- Nesta is an alien, too. To make matters worse, her parents' mission on Earth has come to an abrupt end because of a boy named Thomas Derwent. They will have one chance to return to Ormingat, and that chance is only seven days away. Nesta quickly devises a plan to miss the deadline ... Book jacket.
