In 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, a flying saucer crashes in the woods near Mylo's family's ranch. Still grieving the recent death of his brother, Mylo is irresistibly drawn to the site, where he encounters an alien being whom he and his friends--and some sympathetic adults--work to save. This heartwarming novel features convincing characters and a gripping, fast-moving plot. An author's note provides historical context.
