WE DO NOT WELCOME OUR TEN YEAR-OLD OVERLORD

A chilling adventure about a strange object that falls into the wrong hands and has the potential to destroy the world. This is perfect for fans of Stranger Things, The Last Kids on Earth, and Neil Gaiman.

It's not fair. Kim's always lived in the shadow of his younger sister, Eila -- which is not how it's supposed to be. Eila is a prodigy, and everyone talks about how smart she is... but, in Kim's eyes, she has no common sense. One day Kim and Eila are walking in the woods, and Eila finds an enigmatic, otherworldly object floating in a lake. Kim thinks it's bad news... especially when it communicates with Ella, and she decides to take it home. Soon she is calling it her friend, and in return it is giving her awesome powers over insects, animals, the weather, and . . . other human beings. These are powers no one should have -- particularly not a ten-year-old girl who thinks she's always right. What can Kim and his group of gamer friends do against someone like that? And should they even try? Maybe Eila is right, and the entity is a friend. But what if it isn't?...
