Publisher's Synopsis
Mary Day's life has always been a little different, because her little brother, Albie, is a little different. Albie doesn't speak, but he sends mind memos to only one person-Mary. To Albie, Mary is Pearl, the person in his life that he holds in his mind like a precious pearl. Mary and Albie wake up on holiday break to a world full of snow and Albie only memos two words: bad order. Mary and her best friend, Brit, track the creepy vibe to a spot in the woods where a mysterious red mist seems to draw them in and take over their thoughts until they're only negative. A visit from three extra-terrestrials hilariously trying to pass as human confirms that there's a leak in the dimensional universe-and they need Albie to repair it before bad thoughts take over the entire population. In an out-of-this-world adventure that's still mostly earthbound, Mary, Brit, Brit's brother Lars, and Albie set out to save the world.
