A child born of two worlds faces growing pains in Who Goes Home? by Sylvia Waugh, a companion to Space Race and Earthborn. At age 13, loner Jacob struggles with the newfound knowledge of his extraterrestrial origins. The aliens of Ormingat had forecast a discomforting future for the boy when he was still an infant: ""He is Javayl, throbbed the machine reluctantly, child of the broken word. He is Javayl, the outsider."" Steven and Jacob observe and affect events from the previous books in the series, providing another view of these entwined tales.
