(2) YA Not only does sixteen-year-old Mal believe he was abducted by aliens four years ago, he also meets Hooper, who claims to be an alien yearning to go home. This mystery is at the heart of the novel: are their stories true? With its strong voice and aura of mystery, Castellucci's brief novel offers a unique take on finding a place in the world.
