Spending their summer in Central Oregon, the Davis kids-Clayton, 11, Sam, 9, and Mattie, almost 3-are earning money by collecting stray golf balls from the local driving range and selling them back to the golf shop. Gathering a few more balls before dark, the boys find a strange object behind their home. The police are called but when they arrive the object has disappeared. An unusual game of golf then introduces the Davises to a mysterious family living nearby and launches a funny, suspenseful story involving snow cones, video games, Korean dance music, spaceships, ice cream, and mountain climbing at midnight. As told by Grandpa Bob, "The People In Condo 68" is a story of discovery, tolerance, interplanetary friendship, and food.
