American Girl On Saturn
by Nikki Godwin
Release Date: 08/24/13
Summary from Goodreads:
The summer after graduation is
supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old
Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her
galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on
her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband,
Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into
hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy,
their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.
Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.
But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.

Honestly, this sounds about like what would happen at my house if it were my 12 and 8 year old daughters! I can't wait to read it!
So here's a little excerpt that made me just smile...and got me even more excited to read this book!
He reaches toward the tray and grabs
the lone Oreo. “Okay, this is my last one for the night,” he says. “Half it
with me?”
Seriously? If I wasn’t
the envy of every Saturnite in the world just by sitting across the table from
him, I’m definitely the envy of them now because the Milo Grayson wants to half
his precious Oreo with me. And the
thing that sucks the most is that no one knows about it to be jealous of me!
He holds the cookie up
and waits for a response.
“Yeah, we can half
it,” I say.
I reach across the
table for it, but he jerks his arm back. The sleeve of his T-shirt hugs his
bicep tightly, and oh how I wish to be that fabric.
“Not so fast,” he
says. “Let’s make it interesting.”
Could this be any more
interesting? Hello – you’re gorgeous and famous and sharing cookies with me!
Any more ‘interest’ and I might burst like a firework.
“If you get the side
with the cream, I’ll give you my honest male opinion about your checkout line
drama today,” he says. “But if I get the cream side, you have to tell me,
honestly, who you think the best looking guy is in Spaceships Around Saturn.”
Oh God. He’s for real.
Does he know? He totally knows. He knows I’m lusting for him from behind this
glass of milk and tattoo magazine. He knows that his eyes make me melt and that
I clearly watch him on Twitter because I know all about amazzzzzing. Now he
wants to make me ‘fess up.
“Deal.” I say it
before I can chicken out.
I can always lie and
say Benji’s name. He’s the fan favorite anyway. Benji Baccarini is Spaceships Around Saturn for so many
girls.
He leans forward,
positions himself over the table, and holds up that fated Oreo. I push my glass
of milk aside because the last thing I want is to knock it over with my
quivering nerves. Then I lean toward him, grip the cookie with my fingers, and
inhale every scent of his body wash that I can while I twist my half of the
Oreo away from his half.
