Bookroo's summary

Harris suspects his new classmate, Zeke, is an alien, but his best friend Roxy isn't convinced. Invited to Zeke's house, Harris sees bizarre technology that Roxy dismisses as high-tech gadgets. Dinner with Zeke's family turns strange when food starts levitating, but only Harris notices. As Zeke plays along, Harris must find a way to reveal the truth before the evening spirals into chaos. Can he convince Roxy, or will Zeke's alien antics remain a secret?

From the publisher

In the second book of the Alien Next Door series, Harris and Roxy go over to Zeke’s house and meet his strange family. Will Harris be able to prove to Roxy that Zeke and his family are aliens? Harris has his suspicions that the new kid at school, Zeke, is an alien, but he hasn’t been able to prove it to his best friend, Roxy. When they’re both invited over to Zeke’s house, Harris thinks this is the perfect opportunity for him to research Zeke’s alien family and show Roxy that they’re all from another planet. But Roxy is perfectly fine playing with all of Zeke’s alien technology which she just thinks is “hi-tech,” and as a thank you, Harris’s parents invite Zeke’s parents over for dinner. At dinner, no one but Harris seems to notice all the strange things Zeke’s family is doing-like making food levitate to their mouths. However, Zeke realizes that Harris is the only one noticing these things and decides to use this opportunity to have a little more fun at dinner. . . .
