When the news breaks, someone needs to fix it. That’s where SOPHIE COOPER — redheaded Cuban-American, high school freshman, and intern at Miami’s worst TV news station — comes in. After her father is wrongfully accused of a crime he didn’t commit, fifteen-year-old Sophie Cooper volunteers for an internship at a Miami TV news station. Between logging tapes and fetching coffee, she secretly investigates South Florida’s rampant paranormal activity in order to clear her family’s name — and unwittingly stumbles upon a secret, supernatural conspiracy that threatens the entire world.

Life has only gotten more complicated since Sophie Cooper, the local news station’s resident intern, exposed a paranormal conspiracy deep within Miami. But between school, a news internship, and her upcoming Quinceñera, Soph must now balance a love triangle with Milo and Usnavy — and help a disgraced celebrity find his late wife’s “real killer.”

After getting blasted by alien energy, Sophie takes a break from reality on a girls’ trip with her mom in Cuba. Their plan is to reconnect and retrace their family history — until eerie visions “show” Sophie the fateful crash of a UFO in 1960 that has major ramifications on her life. And just as she wraps her head around that, she glimpses a premonition of her friend, Milo, getting shot. Desperate to save him, Soph comes clean about her extraterrestrial extracurricular activities — only for the Cuban Army to arrest her. Apparently, they aren’t too fond of American reporters on their soil. What follows is an eye-opening visit from a mad scientist, a jailbreak of intergalactic proportions, and a touching heart-to-heart between Soph and her mom that leaves both women feeling newfound appreciation — and awe — for each other. SCOOP: Sci-Fi Witness represents Sophie’s most exciting and most emotional investigation yet in which she solves a twisty murder mystery that is once again torn from the headlines. The only way for her to survive is by focusing on the facts, trusting her instincts, and finally being honest about her feelings for Usnavy and Milo.
