Jessica Oakes and the Stellabright Solution Nicholas Christoforou

Jessica Oakes is a teenager with problems. She's dealing with her parents' divorce which has left her mother an emotional wreck and her father a feeble servant to his new wife. Her school life is no better because her goth friends have isolated themselves and branded the boy Jessica likes a chav. And her inexplicable failure to comprehend GCSE maths is threatening to destroy any remaining prospects she has. Just when it seems things can't get any worse, Jessica is contacted by a race of god-like aliens called the Stellabrights. They have decided humanity poses a threat to universal peace and must stand trial at their supreme court. One human, chosen at random, is permitted to give evidence in support of their species and Jessica Oakes is given that responsibility. If she fails, the Stellabrights will return the Earth to a copy they made 225,000 years before and our ancestors will have to evolve from cavepeople again. What Jessica doesn't know is that her extraterrestrial responsibilities are intricately linked with her personal problems. Was she really chosen at random to be the spokesperson of the human race? Are the people in her life really what they seem? And why has Jessica been given a hamster that turns into a dinosaur when only she looks at it? To put her life in order, Jessica must discover the amazing secret that lies within herself and travel across time and space to find the Stellabright Solution.
