My Body Fell Off! (LightTraveler Adventure Series, Book 1) [Paperback]

BJ Rowley (Author)

Book Description

Imagine going to bed one night and suddenly finding yourself floating around on the ceiling--looking down at your own sleeping body! Imagine being able to leave your body anytime you want, and passing invisible through walls and doors--and even people! Imagine transporting yourself to your friends' houses in the blink of an eye-without them even knowing! Or floating right into movies and concerts for free! Or enjoying the Super Bowl on the fifty yard line-right behind the quarterback! Then, imagine finding yourself inadvertently and invisibly witnessing a secret meeting of some of the most dangerous criminals of our time as they plot a multi-million dollar conspiracy involving blackmail, kidnapping, and murder!

Bart Elderberry experiences all this and more after becoming the recipient of a very unique and special God-given ability. A recent transplant from California to Utah, Bart is just beginning to enjoy the excitement of high school, driving, and dating, when his whole world is turned upside down by the bizarre events transpiring around him. And suddenly, his unusual ability is the only thing standing between life and death for himself and his new-found friends.

Now ...imagine trying to explain to ANYBODY about your rare skills and abilities without them thinking you're as crazy as a three-dollar bill and throwing you in the loony-bin for life.

My Body Fell Off! delivers a fast-paced, heart-pounding adventure that will leave you gasping at every turn. An adventure that, once begun, will be impossible to put aside until its final, dramatic conclusion.

My Body Fell Off was a fun fast-paced story. It's one for every teenage boy. Once you start reading you will not want to put it down until the story is complete. The author is very talented and knows how to capture an audience. Martha's Freedom Train

When I first saw this book and read the title, I didn't think it would be for me. But it was highly recommended by a friend, so I picked it up. Bart Elderberry is my new hero. Stepping out of his body at will, zipping around the universe to solve mysteries, it's a fantastic book and I eagerly hunted down and read the two that follow.

I haven't found too many books like this one. You can find many books on the subject if you want to learn "how to" techniques of getting out of your body, but what if you just want a good story? What if you just want a novel adventure about an esoteric topic that is usually ignored? Well if that's what you want, this is the book you're looking for. It's not particularly realistic as far as OBEs go; the protagonist can get out of his body far to easily. But who cares. This book lets you entertain the idea of a life that is not limited to the physical realm. For me, it helps me visualize myself that much closer to doing it. But besides that, it's just plain fun. I wish someone would make a series of movies like this OBE thriller. This is the kind of book that you can't put down. And it's not that big, so you'll get through it quickly, leaving you thirsting for more.
