The Night Peopleby C.S. Hand

Are aliens real–and here on Earth? Sam doesn’t want to believe it, but if they’re visiting him at night, what choice does he have?

The Night People have been visiting Sam for ten years, since he was five.

Sam is the definition of a teen loner. Jade is smart and outgoing. She wants a boy-girl friendship with Sam. Just a simple friendship. But Sam is afraid to have friends, because of the Night People. They appear to be aliens, and if people know he sees them, they’ll think he’s crazy. Jade convinces him they should become partners and investigate these mysterious beings.

The Night People’s actions are straight out of a sci-fi mystery. But what are they doing in a small Midwestern town? What do they want with Sam and Jade? And how do two ordinary teens end up being harassed by an army officer? Or stranded in an underground military base? Or in Area 51?

Sam and Jade are already dealing with teen issues–anger, bullying, abuse, and trust (or lack of it). Will their new friendship survive these challenges and lead to something more? Will they discover who the aliens are and what they want?

Or my traitor heart.

Could she use her skills as a lockpick to crack open the secrets to the murder as well as unlock his heart?
