Sky thought the biggest surprise about living in Area 51 was learning that aliens exist and befriending one. She was wrong. Her grandmother has vanished, kidnapped and imprisoned in Area 52, the only other alien portal on Earth. Even more shocking, her grandma has worked as an undercover FBAI agent for Sky's entire life without Sky knowing. Uncle Anish tells Sky and her friends to stay out of it this time and let him handle the rescue. The kids ignore him completely. They face one major problem: nobody knows where Area 52 is located. To save her grandmother, Sky must crack secret puzzles and codes, search the Area 51 library for clues, and infiltrate FBAI headquarters. But someone wants to stop Sky from solving this mystery, and they're watching her every move.
