OLDER FICTION
Martin, T. Michael

Mr. Fahrenheit

(4) YA Life gets weird for aspiring magician Benji after he shoots a UFO from the sky. The mystery of what it was, and what its destruction will mean, builds on family history and a folksy, middle-American small-town backdrop. The metaphorical underpinnings are clumsy, as are the interpersonal dynamics among Benji and his friends, but the old-school sci-fi elements (when they surface) are engagingly mysterious.
