Jacob Smith never expected to be chased by aliens. Or to be traveling across the universe to try and save the world. After all, nothing interesting had ever happened to him before. But things change when his mom announces she's expecting another baby. A menacing, black car starts following him, and he meets a dog that seems to be more than man's best friend. Even worse, he finds out that his older brother isn't who he claims to be. Now Jake and his friends are on the run from a race of aliens bent on taking over our world, just as they have many others before. But what can Jake do when the only reason the aliens want him is because he's so incredibly average?
