Mystical Aria: Seeking the Gallion Queen (Volume 1)

Aria Vanir, a psychic tween girl from Virginia Beach, trusts only her mother with the knowledge of her predictions and remote viewings. When Aria connects with spiritually and technologically advanced aliens--the Gallions--she instead confides in her best friend, Tommy Manger. His unexpected rage threatens to end their friendship.

Nashata, Queen Supreme of the Gallions, leads a diplomatic mission with her royal family to Earth. The queen wants to test Aria's worthiness of first contact and learning the secrets of her people.

When the Gallions beam Aria, Tommy, and Aria's tomboyish 15-year-old sister, Jackie, aboard their spaceship, Aria's typically passive mother makes a bold move to save her daughters. None of them realize that the military has sent Aria's Navy SEAL father, William, on a mission to capture the good aliens or destroy their spaceship. Worse, William has no idea that he's putting his daughters and their friend in harm's way.

According to branding specialist, David Thalberg, "Many compare Guthrie's novel to the endearing kid-meets-alien theme in Steven Spielberg's E.T."
