The Gods of Destiny

When Carson Wildermuss overhears two men planning to kill a Princess to get a rock, no one but Ben, his brother, believes him. And why should they? It's only a rock, and as Ben tells him, "There's no royalty in America."
Left to their own devises, since their sisters are off doing other things, the boys spring into action, enlisting the aid of two cowardly mutts, Boomer and Slick, to solve this mystery. Only to soon discover that they are way in over their heads.
And when they find the rock, and have to save the girl, Jaden, and her mother, it only puts the murderous men on Ben and Carson's trail.
Owen Lords and Fenn Poole are after something far greater than a mere rock. Apparently, a spaceship has crash-landed on earth and it contains aliens of the most unusual variety--one looks like a guinea pig, the other a small human and of course, there's the mysterious monster eating just about everyone that comes in contact with it.
And as the two boys race across their small town, retrieving parts of the ship, eventually with the help of Wee, one of the aliens, they just keep amassing enemies.
Before long, they have the two murderous men, two angry gangs, and the mysterious monster chasing them and they still haven't found out the whole truth about things. Something is severely wrong with this situation, among them: How come Wee keeps changing color every time he reveals something to them; how do you fit a durgle (the house-sized monster) in bathtub-sized spaceship, how in the world can two pint-sized aliens subdue the durgle, and last of all, what has the other alien, Woe, hidden in the woods behind Jaden's house?
In a story full of house-sized mysteries, narrow escapes, chases involving a zoo-full of animals, and one astounding ending, can the boys get to the bottom of things before they get killed by those chasing them? Or worse, will their parents ground them before Ben and Carson uncover the truth, save the girl, the aliens and, heck, even the town they live in?
Oh, the Wildermuss brothers are on their own this time, but they are not going it alone.
