Bookroo's summary

Kate's ordinary day turns extraordinary when a cryptic message from BB-9, an alien, appears on her computer screen. As she unravels the truth, excitement builds, but skepticism surrounds her. Can she convince others of her cosmic discovery before it's too late? Dive into a world where the line between reality and the unknown blurs, and one girl's belief could change everything.

From the publisher

When Kate sits down at the computer, nothing seems out of the ordinary. But suddenly a mysterious message flashes up on the screen. Someone who calls himself BB-9 is trying to get through to her. It doesn’t take long for Kate to figure out who BB-9 is - and she’s sure that everyone else will be as excited as she is. But what do you do when you’re about to make headlines…and no one believes you?
