We’re so excited to tell you all about Attention Authors of Earth by Jason F. Franz!
This laugh-out-loud science fiction tribute combines a young writer’s conference, plagiarizers from another planet, and an alien invasion that just might be the end of Earth.
When 13-year-old Paige Turner is invited to a young science fiction writer’s conference on the shores of Lake Superior, she believes it’s her biggest dream come true. But then she notices strange jellyfish-like creatures and realizes they are not from our planet. Being in the middle of an alien invasion is her actual biggest dream come true.
But there’s more to the story than she thinks. With the help of her new friends, Paige learns of intergalactic intrigue, glowing truth jelly, and the true meaning of forgiveness. But will this, combined with her vivid imagination, be enough to save Earth?
This funny, relatable story is a perfectly accessible introduction to the world of science fiction for young readers. They’ll be cheering Paige and her friends on as they discover the aliens in their midst and try to help them.
When Paige is faced with some important decisions – both in her friend and family relationships, and to save planet Earth from an alien invasion – she learns the power of forgiveness. This laugh-out-loud, action-packed story is also full of heart.
