When crop circles appear in Tully, North Queensland, twelve-year-old Dell knows it�s a hoax. She�s a future climate scientist who believes in facts, not science fiction. But Dell�s estranged mum is an extraterrestrial fanatic. She blusters back into town armed with alien conspiracy theories and a dazzling smile. If Dell can prove the crop circle is fake, surely her mum will hightail it out of Tully again, preferably before she causes Dell�s dad and three sisters further heartbreak. But as her mother�s claims grow more out of this world and alien fever takes over the country, Dell worries she�s fighting a lost cause. How can she convince anyone of the truth when they�re all so desperate to believe a lie?
