It's the year 2040, and thanks to astonishing advances in space exploration technology, humans have made first contact with a variety of astonishing alien civilizations. United in an intergalactic coalition called the Unified Federation of Galaxies, Earthlings now have access to the profound wisdom of far more advanced beings from across the cosmos. As interplanetary travel and immigration become commonplace, the Sprantle family moves from their homeworld to Melbourne, Australia when Mr. Blaptet Sprantle accepts a position with the Australian Space Agency. For young Spleebe Sprantle and his sister Pweedle, fitting in with the earthlings poses an unexpected challenge, as the sibling aliens struggle to align their eccentric appearances and mannerisms to blend into this utterly foreign society. Eager to assimilate, the well-meaning extraterrestrial newcomers soon discover that being accepted is far more easily said than done. In his fish-out-of-water quest to be understood, precocious young Spleebe learns that even across galaxies, the things that make you different are often the very things that make you stand out. Overflowing with humour and heart, The Adventures of Spleebe is an out-of-this-world coming-of-age tale about embracing your uniqueness while navigating the winding roads that lead to belonging. As Spleebe forges unlikely friendships with his new human pals, he shows Earth's children that being an alien on the inside is something to celebrate.

After an experiment goes horribly wrong, Sally's body is discovered in her studio. The Memory Chaser, a device she invented to recover lost memories, seems to be the culprit. At her funeral pyre, bizarre lights accompany an earthquake, and the attendees experience unusual and shocking feelings. Thrust into unlocking the truth and circumstances behind Sally's death, her family sets out to understand The Memory Chaser and whether it's linked to the strange lights. In their quest to unravel the mystery, they master The Memory Chaser and increase its functionality. The earthquake lights, apparently a magnetic phenomenon, begin to occur at increasing frequencies around the globe, giving those that are enveloped in the lights the ability to revisit their own memories, as well as others' memories, and communicate telepathically. Will the world be forever crippled by invasive alien thoughts? Are we not alone? What lies on the other side?

I''m at the end of my rope! Like getting shipwrecked and surviving a hurricane weren''t bad enough! Now I''ve got to support my sort of boyfriend''s plan to get off this island, even though I think his idea''s kinda lame. But with everything going so well between us, I don''t want to rock the boat...er...make waves...well, you know what I mean! Especially with Evil Angela supporting Josh''s plan all the way. I wish I knew what to do. The stakes are pretty high now. And I can''t help wondering if maybe, just maybe, there''s another way to get back home....
