An sci-fi with dystopian elements that will capture the hearts of action fans! Fast pacing and mystery at the beginning gives way to suspense and action-packed scenes later in the novel. Well-developed primary characters move the plot forward and build empathy for their cause. Loved the secrets and the overall premise (I can’t give it away!). Will buy and recommend, especially to a grade 6/7 age-group.

Absolute delight! Gentle, subtle, conspiratorial, psychological-world-upended, us-against-them, humans-vs-aliens, Science Fiction/Coming-of-Age! Aimed at the MG to YA age group (the main characters are sixteen), SOMEONE'S BEEN MESSING WITH REALITY is set in a small Ireland community with the flair of America's Roswell: the main tourism focus is the annual UFO festival, plus the seaside and surfing.

When young Martin, allegedly suffering from a blood disorder half his lifetime, discovers bizarre, inexplicable facts about his parents, who then disappear, he is alone except for his best friends Tina and Enda. What has happened to the quiet, calm, orderly world he thought he knew? Where to go next? What can he do to right his existence? Who is Martin really?
