The two new kids are up to something. No one could be as good a baseball player as Damiano, and no one could be as charming as Inés. Where did they come from? And who are they really?

Nola can never get out of bed on time, and she doesn't have the energy or interest to do her homework. The one thing she's great at is making up stories, even though no one ever lets her finish telling them. Her presentation in biology class starts out, "It's a little known fact, but ferrets secretly run the world ... " and, as usual, the teacher tells her to stop, never realising that Nola's dreams may hint at something weird going on underneath the perfect (and perfectly boring) town of Alta Donna. Two new kids in school, Damiano and Ines, are hiding a secret that a dreamer like Nola can't help but wonder about. After one too many suspicious events, Nola decides to investigate-because maybe Alta Donna is a little too perfect to be real.
