Mystery of the Frozen Brains - Marty Chan

A Chinese boy growing up in a prairie town believes his family are aliens because they don't look like all the other people in town. He teams up with a school friend to expose his parents as outer space visitors and find their flying saucer. Instead, they find frozen brains in the freezer and believe they are the only two warriors against an impending alien invasion.
