Description:
It
turns out that a real alien invasion is nothing like the Sci-fi shows
14-year-old Gracie loves. Not when it’s your own family who are
swallowed whole by those big silver ships. Not if it could be you
next.
In
her search for her family, Gracie meets Brandon, a high school
dropout who would never have been caught dead hanging out with a dork
like Gracie before the world ended. Gracie isn’t too crazy about
Brandon either, but he has one thing she doesn’t: A plan.
Brandon’s
uncle has a cabin up in Maine, and If Gracie and Brandon can survive
long enough to get there they can hide out until the Space Men pack
up their ships and leave.
Until
the army guys come to rescue them, says Brandon. Brandon is big into
army guys. Gracie has to admit that Brandon’s Awesome Plan probably
would have worked out great if wasn’t for Jake.
They
found 5-year-old Jake, laying half-dead under the remains of
someone’s ranch house. He’s a good kid, even if he won’t-or
can’t- talk. But Jake has a secret, and when Gracie finds out what
it is, the fragile new life they’ve started to forge looks set to
break apart.
When
the people you’ve been counting on to put the world back together
start hunting you down, alien invaders are the least of your
worries.Untaken, by J.E. Anckorn
Genre:
young-adult, science-fiction
About
The Author:
J.
E. Anckorn has been an artist and writer ever since she began to
surreptitiously doodle on school supplies instead of learning about
practical things, like osmosis and mathematics.
After
barely surviving a freak mathematical osmosis disaster, she set out
to travel the world, living in New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong
before returning to her native Britain- just in time to marry an
American and leave for the U.S.A.She still failed to learn anything
about osmosis, but did manage to cultivate an accent that is
unintelligible to almost everyone. (It happened through a mysterious
net movement of information from the outside environment into her
brain. If only there was a word for that!)
This
led to her development of a new language, based almost entirely on
polite yet uncomprehending nods.In between these adventures, she has
worked as a toy designer, copywriter, and freelance illustrator.She
lives in Boston, with a small grumpy dog, and a large, slightly less
grumpy husband.
