Ben Archer and the Cosmic Fall (The Alien Skill Series, Book 1) - PAPERBACK
A BOY WITNESSES THE FALL OF UFOs. NOW EVERYONE IS AFTER HIM.
Twelve-year-old Ben Archer’s life is turned upside-down when UFOs crash near his grandfather’s house. And when a dying extraterrestrial entrusts him with a superpower, he is catapulted into hair-rising adventures across land, ocean and space.
Now everyone is after him. The government considers him a cumbersome witness to The Cosmic Fall, a deadly shapeshifter wants his ability, and Ben finds himself in a race against time to unravel the secrets of his new-found power before they catch him.
With no choice but to flee, Ben joins forces with the sole survivor of the crash – an alien man called Mesmo. And while the destinies of boy and alien become inextricably linked, one question hovers above their unlikely friendship: why did the aliens come to Earth in the first place?

The book's front cover caught my attention right away, and I felt compelled to read the back cover. Upon reading the first few pages, I knew I had to purchase this book and read more.
Author Rae Knightly crafted a well-written middle grade novel with significant character development.
She introduced her readers to Metro Vancouver's many scenic places! I found this to be refreshing since I'm a former Vancouverite.
The story arcs brimmed with fast-paced action, tension, and emotion that kept me turning the page.
I can't wait to read book 2, Ben Archer and The Alien Skill!
