Synopsis

The 1st installment of a thrilling young adult sci-fi trilogy, "Orb" is told by Jaxon Forde, who witnesses a celestial event that forever changes his life. While watching his younger sister Rae, a fiery ball crashes into Jaxon's backyard, leaving a burning branch and eerie glow in the roots of an old oak tree. A strange sphere soon emerges and Jaxon struggles to keep it secret -- Which is easy at first, because Jaxon refuses to speak. But the "Orb" has a bizarre effect on Jaxon, Rae and the entire family, whether speeding him away from bullies or causing trouble around the house. Jaxon must soon speak - and face the consequences of his discovery - when two weird men arrive, suspiciously watching him and the Orb. All may be lost, a monumental moment has arrived that will forever alter Jaxon's life, and maybe endanger the Earth! Science fiction meets southern gothic, "Orb" is co-authored by award-winning writer Brad Lockwood and Dean Elliott Case. This is a book intended for anyone from 8-99 years old.
