Encounter at Owl Rock - Hardcover
by Rucker Moses (Author)
In this exhilarating alien sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of Jordan Peele's Nope, Lamar Giles and Kwame Mbalia, twin brothers must stop aliens from taking over their Atlanta suburb.
There's something weird going on in South Bank...and the Young brothers are at the center of 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. When Orion Industries, the company that's been excavating beneath Owl Rock and snapping up property all around town, start searching for Oak with a little too much interest, it's up to Cy and Jaz to find Oak first and uncover the true secrets of Owl Rock. This heartening whirlwind adventure is ready to thrill as two brothers discover we're not alone in the universe.RUCKER MOSES is the pen name of writing team Craig S.
