Summary

A Message from the World Beyond

Winner of the 2022 Whistler Independent Book Awards - Children's Category
A winner in the 2020 IAN Book of the Year Awards
Finalist in the 2021 Feathered Quill Book Awards Program


Thirteen-year-old Ben Archer has accepted a mind-boggling challenge: to use his alien skill to restore the balance between humans and the rest of the living world. But after a near brush with death in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things only get worse when his power attracts the attention of Jeremy Michaels, a reporter from the Provincial Times.

At first, slipping away to a small coastal town for a summer camp seems like a good idea, but Ben's hopes of a discreet vacation come to an abrupt end when an unprecedented event rocks the town, leaving him with a nail-biting dilemma.

Will he reveal himself or not?

The Alien Skill Series is a science-fiction adventure story for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Lost in Space, The Neverending Story, and Percy Jackson. The young-at-heart will revel in this family-friendly, action-packed series filled with alien superpowers, engaging characters, and thought-provoking insights into the way we treat our world.
