Book excerpt: Twelve-year-old Theodore Crane is a prankster from a small Minnesota town, who half-heartedly shares a friend with a belligerent bully. When he is not spending his days dodging an abusive father, he is out fleeing the scenes of goofy pranks and dares. With the help of his loyal friend Jason and a mysterious amulet, Theodore finds the courage to oppose his cruel father. When Jason's life is cut short by an accident, Theodore questions everything about himself, his family, and the universe. Three years after the tragedy, Theodore searches for answers by returning to the scene of Jason's death and discovers the truth when an intervention from outer space brings him into an epic intergalactic conflict. The truth: millions of guided microscopic devices have been recording his life and controlling his fate. Will this covert invasion be enough to pull Theodore toward his destiny?
