Bookroo's summary

Harris and Roxy secretly board Zeke's spaceship, heading to the alien world of Tragas. With Zeke's parents unaware until it's too late, the kids have two days to explore this strange planet. But just as Zeke had to fit in on Earth, Harris and Roxy must now hide their human identities. Can they navigate this alien society without revealing their true nature, or will their adventure be cut short? Discover the challenges and surprises that await them in this interstellar escapade.

From the publisher

In the eighth book of the Alien Next Door series, Harris and Roxy have stowed away aboard Zeke’s spaceship and are flying to his home planet of Tragas! Harris and Roxy have hidden away on Zeke’s family’s spaceship and are headed to Tragas! Zeke’s parents freak out when they discover the kids aboard, but they’ve come too far to turn back. So that gives Harris and Roxy two whole days to explore the alien planet with Zeke while the ship refuels before they all have to fly back to Earth. But, much like Zeke had to on Earth, they have to blend in. Will they be able to hide the fact that they’re the aliens on this new planet?
