About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"What could be more dangerous and frightening than sneaking into an abandoned amusement park late at night? Well... what if you add some aliens into the mix? The shivers start early in this book—and the surprises just keep on coming! Don't miss this fun read!"—R.L. Stine, author Goosebumps and Fear Street

“Moses (Kingston and the Magician’s Lost and Found) delivers a pulse-pounding adventure marked by epic stunts, creepy extraterrestrial antagonists, and a plethora of contemporary hip-hop references. It’s an always-moving tale that balances an out-of-this-world premise with heartfelt ruminations on the importance of friendship, family, and, most prominently, indomitable brotherhood.”—Publishers Weekly

“Two brothers team up with their longtime bestie and a peculiar new friend for a high-stakes, out-of-this-world adventure…The dual first-person narration shifts between the point of view of Cypress, who’s desperately trying to find his brother and navigate issues of rapid, world-destroying gentrification, and Oak, who befriends an alien who’s reluctant to be part of the world-conquering plot. By the time the brothers reunite to save the day with music and magic meteorites, their understanding of how to be part of a team while still maintaining their individuality is forever changed for the better… A raucous romp from twin perspectives with something different to say.”—Kirkus Reviews
