This review is from: TROY'S AMAZING UNIVERSE: A for Aliens (Paperback)

S. Kennedy Tosten is the talented author of the "TROY'S AMAZING UNIVERSE" series. I was fortunate to meet and fall in love with Troy in the first book of the series, "M for MALL."

Although Troy is small for his age, and has a mouth that malfunctions, he is courageous, and very smart. Troy also has the ability to recognize people by their scent.

I missed the second book in the series, "T for TOY," a mistake I quickly plan to remedy, but I just finished reading Tosten's third book, "A for ALIEN." Actually, I read the book twice and will probably read it again, this time out loud to my grandson.

"A for ALIEN," written for young readers, is perfectly plotted for all ages. I am in awe at the timeliness of all the subtle lessons in the author's narrative. Not only should the entire series be mandatory reading for parenthood but for everyone, young and old.

Troy and his father are drawn into a spaceship. Abducted to a strange faraway planet, the two must compete in a space-oriented Father and Son Olympics. (A competition the two must win in order to save Earth from a terrible fate.) Courage and the ability to listen, play an important role in this tale of the true meaning of perfection.

"A for Alien" is a `must read' destined to become a forever classic in bookstores and school libraries. In a world that seems to worship perfection, how marvelous to discover a book that teaches us to celebrate our `imperfect' perfections.

S. Kennedy Tosten, brilliant author, has penned a powerful series so timely it deserves a permanent place on the bestsellers list. I bow to you, Ms. Tosten, you have presented readers with a precious gift, "TROY'S AMAZING UNIVERSE" and "A for ALIEN."

Rebeccasreads recommends A FOR ALIEN as the third in Troy's Amazing Universe, this time taking place at the All Galaxy Olympics!

Troy is a little bit different from all of us: he's a lot smaller & has difficulty speaking clearly, which frustrates his Dad, a lot.

This time the tables are turned when father & son are whisked away by a group of Aliens who understand the boy completely, & can't understand the grown up at all! Now Troy & his Dad have to learn about being a team, & saving the world too!

A FOR ALIEN has something to teach about teamwork. Do check out Troy's previous adventures: M FOR MALL & T FOR TOY -- they're just as interesting & fun!
