Not only are there aliens—one needs a rescue. Middle school just got a whole lot more interesting for the gang of four who pranked the school’s website. The mysterious Commander X has given them the location of an alien being held hostage by a rogue part of the military. With only the city bus for transportation, the four brave or maybe foolish friends, set off to liberate the alien. But what to do after they succeed? It must be kept hidden until Commander X contacts them again. And what to feed him while they wait? Oops, Morgan’s Mother’s prize orchids took care of that. Join in the fun on the first in a series of adventures into what others say can’t be real—only conspiracies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting Book that Mirrors Reality
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024

This book is well-written and moves like a freight-train... I could not put it down and had to read it all in one sitting. The junior high characters come alive thru their very realistic interplay (and having taught jr hi I can tell you it is sometimes compassionate and often snarky behavior). Dialog and plot are believable.

So I could not stop reading it -- it is very well written and intriguing...
The book is the kind of creative writing that TV shows are looking for and Universal Studios should take a hard look at it and see if they could make a miniseries or 90-minute of it... seriously!

It also serves to gradually make people aware that we may not be alone in the universe and maybe not all is rosy with the UFO/ET scenario even though there are good, proactive ETs that are bound to be out there. For the person who knows nothing about UFO and ET lore, this could be a fun romp thru the basics.

Thinking for yourself and looking at things beyond face value. Dig a little or a lot deeper Kids need to always know that things are not always what they seem. This book points that out in a non threatening and non terrifying way that they can use their brains and not always think how they are told to think. The nook leaves you smiling instead of frowning which is nice. Keep them coming Robin!

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming read!

I started reading with my ten year old granddaughter a couple of years ago when she seemed reluctant to pick up a book. We’ve been reading almost every night since and she's become such a voracious reader it’s hard to keep her supplied with fresh new material.

I stumbled across Ms Landry’s book when a friend recommended it and my granddaughter and I have been having the time of our lives reading it. The book is about four friends who stumble onto a mystery involving a government-military-alien secret and almost get caught by the bad guys while trying to solve the mystery. While they don’t know what exactly is happening, judging by what little they do know, they understand that there could be dire or life threatening consequences should they get caught. The book ends leaving you thirsting for the next installment in the series to find out whether they succeed or fail!

Ms Landry captures the essence of young teens these days, their relationships with each other and their parents. It’s funny, heartwarming, suspenseful and genuine!

A word of caution though, my granddaughter enjoyed it so much she started reading ahead without me…the little rascal!

Four middle schoolers forced to work on a Mesopotamian group project, instead decide to hack into the school newspaper and write fantastic tales about vampire teachers and aliens amongst us. Funny, right? Until they get a mysterious message from an actual military colonel confirming one of their wildest tales - aliens DO exist!

5.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracies Are Real
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023
This book was written for 10 to 14 year olds but I believe adults will get something out of it too. The book starts off with four bored students who decide to play a joke by hacking into the online school newspaper to plant stories about UFO and aliens being real. However, their joke soon becomes reality when these same four students receive a private online message from someone claiming to be connected to the military, telling them that a captured alien is being held at a nearby military base.

The mysterious person who sent the message believes he's dealing with an adult group who specifically deals in these sorts of matters. But the students not being aware of the stranger's true intentions, set off to find out if the story about a captureed alien on the base is true. One of the student's father is in the military and is stationed at the very same base the alien is being held. This students use this connection to gain access to the base. From here, their world is never the same again.

The books ends with a surprising twist involving a true mysterious event that happened decades before with the U.S. military. And given that reports and videos of UFOs are being taken much more seriously today by the mainstream media, this book becomes quite relevant.

Full Disclosure:

I've known the author, Robin Landry, for a few years. We started corresponding when she wrote reviews for two of my books. After having read Robin's book First Encounters, I suggest to her that she write a novel for adults. Robin agreed and both her and I are collaborating on a book about the Apollo Moon hoax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read for any age!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023
This is a fun read and if I had a teen or a tween, I would highly encourage them to read it. We should challenge the young mind to research conspiracy theories & trust but verify. The author creatively takes the young mind through the possibility we are not alone in this universe. It's a little spooky and young minds tend to love that! The author also does a great job of developing the bond between the characters, which isn't present at the beginning. The young characters end up friends and develop a deep bond and a "secret" they keep. Can't wait for the sequel!
