This week's free story comes from the Life as a Martian collection.
It's called "Chapter One: The Anomaly in Greenhorn."
When the Nebraska family lands in Greenhorn, there’s a lot they don’t know — including the fact that they are Martians sent to Earth as undercover researchers. As they become accustomed to their new town, they study the local culture and even shuttle their youngest son to a podcast camp where he hosts a new show ... and reveals their true identity.
