(3) YA It's 1955 and Invasion of the Body Snatchers is being filmed in Paul's town. After becoming pals with one of the movie's extras, Paul and his friends find themselves caught up in an FBI investigation ferreting out Communists. The book is vividly imbued with historical detail; parallels between the Red Scare witch hunters and the movie's body-invading aliens are particularly effective.
