Go Big or Go Home

By Will Hobbs
(YA F Hobb)
185 pages 2008 Science Fiction

Brady, 14 years old, is accustomed to seeing the dark sky lit up by meteor showers in the Black Hills. Watching from his rooftop, he’s dumbstruck when a searing chunk crashes through his roof and leaves a gaping hole in his mattress. Brady and his cousin are inseparable, challenging each other in extreme bike riding through the hills where Quinn always wins. But then Quinn notices that Brady has gone from a slacker to almost superhuman. Could the numbness and tingling overcoming his body and suspected Martian microbes have any ties to the meteorite? (Grades 6 & Up)
