This book was definitely made for me, aliens, space, and skateboarding. In a small town, we're everyone knows everyone. You are following twins and their best friend Jazz. They are filming this video for fun, and Oak, the main twin, does this amazing jump and gets taken by an Alien........ I will definitely be buy this book for myself and rereading it. And hopefully my kids will read it and like it.

Cypress and Oakley Young are polar opposites and if it weren’t for being identical twins, no one would ever guess they were related. Cy is a budding film director and this summer, he’s filming his latest movie at the abandoned theme park with Oak and their best friend Jaz as his actors. He loves directing, because being the director means calling the shots, being in absolute control of how the story turns out. Except Oak’s wild imagination can’t be contained. Tired of hearing about his brother’s dreams and alien conspiracy theories, Cy snaps at him. But before he can patch things up, Oak vanishes into Owl Rock, this huge otherworldly granite formation at the center of the park, leaving only his skateboard behind.

This story was mysterious, and fun! I liked the characters and the storyline. I look forward to the release of this book as I will be reading it again!

Brothers Oakley and Cypress, and their best friend, Jaz, are angry that Orion industries have taken their home and neighborhood by eminent domain. The loss of the neighborhood water park is especially hard, and the fact that the Youngs have been in their home since the 1960s makes the loss crushing, especially since the boys have also lost their parents. The boys and Jaz have been looking for shards of meteorites, thinking about UFOs, and filming their exploits. When the brothers argue, Oakley disappears into the Owl Rock formation, and Cypress and Jaz must find him. Readers who enjoyed Smith's Project Mercury or Dao's Team Chu and the Battle of Blackwood Arena will enjoy this fantastical romp. Bonus points for an abandoned water park, skateboards, and fantastic grandparents.
