The Alien Club follows the path forged by a ten-year-old boy, blindly clawing his way through the confusing, frightening and utterly fascinating life afforded him, via a magical neighborhood situated in suburbia USA, during the summer of 1979.
Though the book may be thrown in to the "Coming of Age" genre, the book is actually rather mature in it's scope and context and can be enjoyed by an adult reader. This book is NOT (I'm a parent of 3) meant for a young child. Recommended reading level is 13 years of age or older.
The book has several unintended serious themes that underline the story, setting and subplots - Death, drugs, sexuality, peer pressure, child abuse and even your first love to name a few...
The Alien Club takes the fantasia from The Goonies and combines it with the stark realities of Lord of the Flies. A popular TV series on today that some readers have said reminds them of The Alien Club, is Stranger Things. Some have compared the narration to Stand by Me, while others have said it reminds them of The Wonder Years.
Regardless of what it reminds the reader of, the reviews on Amazon and GoodReads all share the same belief that I do - That is, The Alien Club is an extremely entertaining, thought provoking journey.
I forged this book from my heart and soul over the course of 25 years, and truly believe it's worth your time and consideration.
Thank you kindly.
