The Boy Who Fell From the Sky

Combining the warmth and heart of Ross Welford’s The 1,000 Year Old Boy with the epic adventure and inseparable friendship of Frank Cottrell Boyce’s Cosmic comes an otherworldly new middle grade adventure from the award-winning Benjamin Dean.

Demons haven’t fallen from the sky in years. In fact, many think they’re extinct. But twelve-year-old Zed knows otherwise. Zed’s dad, the head of a sect of Hunters, has always been prepared for the Demons’ return, and he’s been training a reluctant Zed for years on eliminating them once and for all.

And then one night, Spark falls from the sky and disrupts everything Zed thought he knew. Because this Demon is nothing like the myths – he’s a frightened boy, no older than Zed, who wants to go home.

Can Zed stand up for what’s right, even if it means going against his own family?
