In this reality-bending alien adventure, a boy discovers his parents’ disappearance is tied to a glowing, reality-warping alien presence hidden in the village’s abandoned mines – perfect for fans of Stranger Things and high-stakes sci-fi novels.
When Martin Ryan sees a video of his father flying unaided through the air, he realises everything he believed about his life has been a lie. Now his parents have disappeared and Martin discovers something weird brewing in the disused mines of the seaside village where he lives. Something glowing. Something ... egg-like.
Someone's definitely been messing with reality. Martin and his friends must do whatever they can to defeat the aliens that threaten the entire human race. Even if it means stealing cop cars, blowing up the mines and turning a paddling pool into a fighter aircraft.
