But can someone really change who he is, or will the old him merely come back over time?

The machines started popping up around the world. The offer was tempting: with a simple blood test, anyone could know how they would die. But the machines didn't give dates or specific circumstances - just a single word or phrase. DROWNED, CANCER, OLD AGE, CHOKED ON A HANDFUL OF POPCORN. And though the predictions were always accurate, they were also often frustratingly vague.

And he definitely shouldn't tell you about his friend Eli Cruz and the major conspiracy Eli was uncovering when he died. About how Nick had to choose between solving Eli's murder with his hot sister, Reya, and "staying low-key" like the Program said to do. But he's going to tell you—unless he gets caught first. . . .

Publisher's summary
In this sci-fi tale packed with wild humor and adventure, 14-year-old Evelyn Ka'anok remarks "My life. Is a mess."
It's about to get a lot messier.
Evelyn, it turns out, is a human/alien hybrid, and her nervous wreck of a mother is right: Men in Black ARE hunting them.
Evelyn narrowly escapes capture, and with Deb, her middle school bestie, and Gary Mayhew (a biology grad the two more or less hijack along the way), the trio trek cross country from Roswell to Las Vegas to the mysterious Groom Lake (Area 51), to rescue both Evelyn's mom and dad (Malin). Along the way, Evelyn discovers that she inherited more from her dad than her pale complexion, height, and unnervingly large eyes. She has telepathic and telekinetic powers that require practice and control.
Our heroes reclaim Elevyn's folks and Malin's UFO and, always pursued by the bloodthirsty General Lyles, return to Malin's home planet, Vetna.
The Vetnans, however, are affronted that mankind, a primitive race, kidnapped one of their own. Warships are dispatched.
Only Evelyn and her friends can prevent worldwide devastation. Bullets or bacteria won’t work. In the end, Evelyn devises Earth's salvation from something far more surprising.

The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes 16-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered. Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's bodacious transformation - sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively - as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell spawn.

Cram 10 hormonal teens into a spaceship and blast off: that's the premise for the ill-conceived reality show Waste of Space. The kids who are cast know everything about drama - and nothing about the fact that the production is fake. Hidden in a desert warehouse, their spaceship replica is equipped with state-of-the-art special effects dreamed up by the scientists partnering with the shady cable network airing the show.

I loved it! very funny and entertaining.
I am the wife and the mother of the authors. This is the first time I have heard the thing completely through. I have to say, even though I knew the book, and lived through the stressful writing of it , I found it adorable, funny, entertaining, informative ( it's a lot of Science), and just Blissful. Thank you to everybody who contributed to my husband's dream.

Delightful
Fantastic production. With sound effects, music and a cast of dozens, the presentation is more like a movie soundtrack than a narrated novel. It's a fun sci-fi romp that is thoughtful, timely and shatteringly hopeful.
