It Came From The Sky by Chelsea Sedoti



From the author of The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett and As You Wish comes the unforgettable story of the one small town's biggest hoax and the two brothers who started it all.

This is the absolutely true account of how Lansburg, Pennsylvania was invaded by aliens and the weeks of chaos that followed. There were sightings of UFOs, close encounters, and even abductions. There were believers, Truth Seekers, and, above all, people who looked to the sky and hoped for more.

Only...there were no aliens.

Gideon Hofstadt knows what really happened. When one of his science experiments went wrong, he and his older brother blamed the resulting explosion on extraterrestrial activity. And their lie was not only believed by their town―it was embraced. As the brothers go to increasingly greater lengths to keep up the ruse and avoid getting caught, the hoax flourishes. But Gideon's obsession with their tale threatened his whole world. Can he find a way to banish the aliens before Lansburg, and his life, are changed forever?

Told in a report format and comprised of interviews, blog posts, text conversations, found documents, and so much more, It Came from the Sky is a hysterical and resonant novel about what it means to be human in the face of the unknown.
 

MY REVIEW: 4 Stars ⭐️ 

I didn’t even know this book existed until the publisher reached out to send me an arc paperback. I knew I would love the book when I read the synopsis.

Gideon is the super smart science kid but his brother, Ishmael, is a prankster. So he set up Gideons science project to make a big boom so to speak. Then it’s off to the races about ufo’s 🤣😂



This was super fun and it got more outrageous as it went on. And there are also other things going on with their mom and the wacky company she’s with. It all comes out in the in 😉

*Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.
