Like Patrick in Space Race and Matthew and Alison in Earthborn, Steven is a visitor from Ormingat, living on earth with his family for a designated number of years. But Steven is not merely an observer, he is an arranger, a facilitator with the power to direct attention away from any Ormingatriga who needs protection. When his earthly son Jacob is born with a fatal immune deficiency, Steven requests help from Ormingat in order to save his life and as a result the boy survives but grows up surrounded by a protective shield without friends. When Steven is forced to tell Jacob of his identity and involve him in his work, Jacob resents his fathers imposition. Then comes the debacle of the Derwents accident and Nestas flight from home, all bringing undesired publicity and the danger of detection to the Ormingat aliens. Steven, summoned to return early to the mother planet does not want to go,for if he returns he must abandon his earth wife, Lydia. And where does all this leave unhappy Jacob who makes contact not only with Mrs Dalrymple but also Nestas family in York A strong conclusion to the trilogy, uniting the plots from the earlier books - with a surprising and dramatic finale.

Red Fox

From the outside, 5 Brocklehurst Grove looks like an ordinary house - the window are always clean, and the garden well tended. And from the inside, to hear the voices of the inhabitants, the Mennym family, your would think they were a perfectly ordinary family, too. But you'd be wrong, for the Mennyms are far from ordinary. The whole family shares an astonishing secret behind which it's hidden for forty years, a secret to which nobody has ever come close... until perhaps, now.

The Mennyms

Nesta Gwynn has always known that her parents are different. She thinks it’s because they’re from Boston instead of the little town in England, where Nesta was born and where she’s always lived. But at the age of 12, Nesta discovers that her parents aren’t really from Boston. In fact, they’re not from Earth at all. They’re aliens from a planet named Ormingat and, even though she was born on Earth, Nesta is an alien too. To make matters worse, her parents’s mission on Earth has come to an abrupt end because of a boy named Thomas Derwent. They will have one chance to return to Ormingat and it’s only seven days away. Nesta quickly devises a plan so that she’ll miss the deadline and not have to leave Earth. But if she stays behind, will her parents choose to stay with her or will they go back to Ormingat without her?From the Hardcover edition.
