A stellar tale that blends friendship, the exploration of the unknown, and the timeless quest for understanding.
Schwartz kicks off his Star People series with this engrossing adventure that takes readers on an adolescent’s journey to distant lands. In 1964, UFOs appear in a small New England town. Teenager Scott Harrison is one of the first to witness them. The hologram they leave behind warns of a looming threat from the sinister Zarco. With his friend Christina, Scott seeks help from the wise Star People. Will they succeed? Scott’s journey isn’t just about unraveling the external mysteries he encounters; it’s also a deep dive into his inner conflicts as he grapples with fear, curiosity, and the desire to belong. Schwartz skillfully captures the essence of adolescent wonder, making Scott a character readers can relate to. The vivid descriptions of alien encounters and cosmic elements create a fantastical yet real world, while the blend of mystery and discovery keeps readers engaged in Scott’s quest with the Star People. A beautifully told, entertaining story that encourages readers to look up at the stars and ponder the mysteries that lie beyond our world.
