Mari had her time in the past and is finally home. Unfortunately, she didn’t understand the goddess’ warning that traveling to the past would have consequences.

It all started in Republic of Panama in 1980. A friend of mine named Tonna came to my house one morning and told me there was an iguana in her outside toilet.My mother had always wanted me to write, so I did. Anyway, I woke one morning at 4:30 in the morning in 2009 and I couldn't rest again, as it began to flow. I wrote it down as fast as it came. It took about 30 minutes to do the original book and every book after. I feel this book is not only enjoyable, but lessons learned in this book are worth it. By adding people from the community, they learn about their own neighborhood.I believe God gave me these books. I hope you enjoy them as much as I had writing them!

But, when he finds a secret interplanetary control room buried in the field behind his house and a woman named Kyra from the Universal Preservation Alliance asks for his help, he has to admit that his confidence problems look a little minor in comparison. Kyra needs the medallion Austin's grandfather left him to fix a beacon on a distant planet and prevent intergalactic war from breaking out. Austin's not about to let some stranger run off with his beloved memento, but, when war-hungry, shapeshifter aliens known as Dethcors show up at his school to get him to surrender the medallion, he teams up with Kyra and heads into deep space to draw the aliens' attention away from his friends and family. It's no mean feat for Austin to raise his hand in class on a good day, so how does Kyra expect him to convince other aliens to be their allies and negotiate safe passage to the beacon? Middle school is hard enough without being impersonated by Dethcors and breaking through starship blockades. And can the kid who has a hard time completing a sentence when talking to a girl really become the hero who saves the universe?
