Mom sees their new home far, far away from the planet Zaveen as a chance for a new adventure. But Mace isn’t sure he agrees. After all, it means he’s far, far away from his dad, too. And when Mace’s TOP SECRET notebook goes missing on his first day at school, he panics. Will his alien identity be exposed? Or will Mace realize he might just fit in here after all?


This exciting new series follows the adventures of a lovable alien disguised as a human boy as he navigates elementary school, divorce, and new friendships.

Meet Mace Starborne

Mace Starborne isn't your average fourth grader. Sure, he shares the same worries any kid might have about fitting in at a new school, but Mace's concerns are a bit... out of this world. Why? Because Mace isn't just new to Lincoln Elementary; he's new to Earth itself!


Hailing from the distant planet Zaveen, Mace and his mom are on a secret mission to blend in as earthlings. Equipped with his TOP SECRET notebook, Mace is determined to understand the mysterious ways of human kids. But life on Earth isn't easy, especially when you're hiding your true alien identity.


While his mom sees their relocation as an exciting adventure, Mace can't help but feel torn away from everything familiar, including his dad back on Zaveen. And when his TOP SECRET notebook goes missing on his very first day at school, Mace's alien identity and his family's secret teeter on the brink of exposure.


Join Mace Starborne as he embarks on an interstellar journey of discovery, navigating the complexities of elementary school, coping with his parents' divorce, and forging new friendships. With a heart as big as the galaxy, Mace might just find that Earth can feel like home, and fitting in is possible, even for a kid from the stars.
