Tara Smith�s parents are super strict with all their rules and routines, and Tara is a dutiful daughter. Rule #1: No friends her own age. Rule #2: keep her bracelet on, or else. But when she breaks her routine�and then loses her bracelet�she�s in trouble.
Now outed as an extraterrestrial after wielding fire and losing her humanoid form, Tara is captured by the government. She�s given two options: get shipped far away where she won�t be a danger to anyone or stay on Earth and join a school for other extraterrestrial girls like her. Things at the school aren�t easy�especially for the girl whose only friends were textbooks. But Tara�s goal to learn how to control her powers is soon sidelined by the discovery that the people she�s called Mom and Dad all these years aren�t her parents.
