I was ten years old the day I found out I was an alien. At least, that's what the kids at school called me. With a strange birthmark and a name like Sagittarius, I've tried to stay invisible.
Then a stranger showed up at my school—and everything changed.
He knew my name. He was terrified. And before I could ask why, the military took him. After that, I found out my mom's been lying to me my whole life. Black cars started appearing in town, and my friends wouldn't stop asking questions they shouldn't.
That's when we found it: an old recorder, a strange frequency, and a pattern of pulses that makes something inside me respond—like my body recognized it.
The signal won't stop. My birthmark is changing. And the more we dig into the past, the clearer it becomes: something was hidden here a long time ago.
Something connected to me.
THE PULSE IN HER VEINS MATCHED A RHYTHM FROM THE STARS.
For fans of I Am Number Four and Lore, IMITATION ALIEN is a fast-paced YA sci-fi thriller about the lies we tell ourselves—and the truth we can't escape.

I liked the characters and am pleased that the adventure is set to continue. Sagittarius is a great main character. I like that she grows or develops from a quiet teen that wants to be invisible to a confidant leader willing to take on the might of the military. There is also some interesting sidekicks and I especially loved seven. I liked that the author kept everything close to her chest and there was a lot that kept you guessing like who to trust and who was telling the truth.
There is a lot going on and the story moves at a quick pace and stayed engaging throughout. It's hard to praise the book without giving too much of the story away. So I will just say give it a go you might be surprised with the results.
Sagittarius, Sage as she is known by her friends if she had any, is a typical teen trying to get through school life without too much drama. Well she would be your typical teen if the rumour about her being an alien would stop and the strange man hadn't burst into her classroom before being dragged away by the military. The stranger knew her name and the soldiers now seen too interest in her connection to the stranger. She thought her dad was dead but there is something about the stranger that seems familiar. The more the military try to keep her out of it the more she tries to uncover and the place to start is with her mother's secrets.
I liked the narrator. It's not the usual narrator this author favours but I think it was the right choice to go with somebody different, especially as she was very good.
