This is getting seriously weird! On a remote farm in New Zealand's South Island, Tim and Coral Townsend discover a pair of super-intelligent mice with an extraordinary calculator. Suddenly they're plunged into an adventure full of alien technology, mind parasites and visitors from very, very far away. Their new friends just want to go home, but how can they when the most powerful, most frightening beings in the galaxy are determined to stop them? Watched by a pair of super-slimy slithery spies, Tim and Coral set about helping the newcomers. But who can they trust – especially when confronted by a ruthless killer robot intent on destroying them all? Now Tim and Coral aren't just fighting for the lives of their friends, but for their own lives too!
