Lucas Lightfoot considers himself to be a regular boy like any
other ten year old. He yearns to be the hero like those in the
books he reads. His quiet life changes when he finds a chameleon on
the sidewalk. Lucas discovers he was chosen by Prescott, a
mysterious and magical lizard. Lucas is taught powerful secrets
that go way beyond the magic any young boy would love to have. He
realizes that with this power, he can change the relationship with
a special girl in his class and maybe change the class bully. But
if this secret falls into the wrong hands, it could destroy his
family and everyone he loves. Lucas must learn to control this new
power with both his head and his heart. Lucas is surprised to be
the accidental hero for the bully. His biggest challenge comes when
he must face his greatest fear to save the life of a friend and a
helpless stranger. Prescott helps Lucas learn just how strong he
really can be when being strong is his only choice. The more he
uses this power, the more he realizes the greatest change is the
one taking place within him. There has never been another with the
birthright before Lucas and he must be protected from the enemy
until he develops the power within to fight the forces that would
destroy him. Lucas wonders why he was chosen to have this gift and
if he will have the courage to meet the challenges on the path
before him.

The action-packed conclusion to the MiNRS space adventure series, which
School Library Journal praised for keeping readers "on the edge of
their seats."
We do what we do best. Run. Hide. Survive.
The children of Perses must return to Earth. They defeated Major Kirk
Thatcher on their adopted planet, but his evil plans are still
unfolding. People need to know the truth.
Christopher has a video of Thatcher killing an injured grinder in cold
blood. If they can show that to the people of Earth, they might just
turn the tide. The MiNRs need to bear witness.
A transport ship might get them back home, or it might send them
spinning off into the deepest recesses of space. Is it worth the risk?
Cracks begin to appear in the group. Darcy refuses to leave Perses, the
only home she's ever known. And Pavel's mistrust of the grinders
threatens to destroy them all.

hidden dangers. A strange noise on their transport ship signals the

is not the Earth they will return to now.
Can Christopher and his friends win the race to reveal the truth? Or
will they escape one dangerous planet for one far worse?
