A BOY WITH AN ALIEN POWER.

"The thing is, it wasn't meteors that fell into the woods that night. It was alien spacecraft."

The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2019 Silver Medal Winner - Author Academy Awards 2019 Finalist.

When UFOs crash into the fields next to his grandfather's house, twelve-year-old Ben Archer becomes a cumbersome witness in the eyes of the government. Not only that, but Ben discovers he has been entrusted with an alien power, the significance of which could jeopardize human life on Earth.

Government agents rush in to remove all evidence of spacecraft and extraterrestrials. The media are led to believe meteors fell in the area and they dub the event The Cosmic Fall. But when Ben's involvement comes in the spotlight, he is forced to flee with the sole survivor of the crash: an alien man called Mesmo.

And while the destinies of boy and alien become inextricably linked, one question hovers above their unlikely friendship: why did the aliens come to Earth in the first place?
