Zuri is 12 years old, brilliant, and totally lost. Her parents just divorced and she’s starting 7th grade at a new school when the unbelievable happens — she catches two tiny aliens sneaking around her dad’s apartment! To make things even more bizarre, they can speak English! Sort of. They’ve built a translation device called the Stroob, which they use to communicate the basics: their names are Kiki and Modo, they’ve crash-landed their rocket ship on the roof of Zuri’s apartment building, and they’re really hungry. Touched by their kindness and humor, Zuri agrees to help them out. She feeds them snacks, plays them music, and together, they go on a quest to fix the rocket! In the process, Zuri realizes her talent for engineering, Kiki discovers a passion for human food, and Modo falls in love with musical instruments — but not before they get tangled up in a wild misadventure around Manhattan. With humor and heart, Kiki and Modo reawaken Zuri’s joy, and open her eyes to new frontiers inside herself, and beyond.
