The Niffits

Curiosity has caused twelve-year-old Roxy Maxwell to investigate a strange occurrence

that took place a couple of days before she is to begin the seventh grade. Her father

and her best friend, Dexie Chappell, are enlisted to help her solve the coin mystery.

Dexie, a bookworm, contributes ideas and a karaoke machine to assist with the detective

work. Dean Walker, a fifth grader and neighborhood spy, has to be trusted with the

Maxwells' secret. The investigation team must maintain secrecy or the news media and

scientific community will descend on the Chappells' property, ruining the plan to return

the aliens to their home country.
