Exploiting new lands and people is as old as Adam and Eve, and the neighborhood of La Rue Drive in Huntington, NY is no different than any other lawless land that came before it. The woods of Wilder's are alive with a society and its subsequent undercurrent and underbelly that has the geopolitical landscape rife with factions, friends, fears and fornication. 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. With no handbook and nowhere to turn, you're forced to blaze a path to greatness you're not even sure is your destiny.Ī rich tale of love and war, and the interpersonal relationships that forge them both. Growing and nurturing the one organism you're responsible for, you, is vastly more difficult than the aging terrestrial beings claiming to have lived your life say it is. An alien landscape that stretches from your front door to your first love can be more bizarre, beautiful and unforgiving than any other planet in the Universe.

The feelings, sensations, decisions and ramifications of your actions are uncharted territory. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.When everything is your first, you're an Alien. I liked the first-person narrative the author used - it made the emotional response of the protagonist more personal.' He said it felt like he was actually transported back in time to 1979. The descriptions in the book were really vivid and made it easy to picture what was happening. He really identified with the characters and found it hard to put down with the suspenseful parts (which made it difficult for me to keep pace with him - I had to read it after he went to bed). Although it had some adult language, it was right up his alley. Had to in order to eat and sleep!' 'My 12-year-old son and I read it together.

Every chapter ended on a cliff hanger and made me want to read the next chapter. Took me in its arms and held me tight throughout the night.' 'This book is an 11 out of 10. It rocked me and I cannot believe how it unfolded. I cannot express how deep this book touched me. Has kept me up many nights thinking of it.
