Before Freak the Mighty became an international sensation, Newbery Honor recipient Rodman Philbrick and his wife, Lynn Harnett, created the spooky middle-grade series Visitors.
 
It’s kids versus aliens in this exciting trilogy. After twins Nick and Jessie witness a strange thunderstorm one night, they get the feeling that something is very wrong. When their parents start acting weird, the twins realize that the crazy storm was actually an alien invasion—and the aliens have taken control of their parents’ minds. With the help of their friend Frasier, Nick and Jessie are in for the fight of their lives against evil slime monsters from space.
 
Can these three kids defeat the aliens and save their town from destruction?
