Signal by Cynthia DeFelice

Signal is a quick read with only 157 pages, but you wouldn't want to put it down, if it were 557 pages! Owen McGuire and his sidekick/canine companion, Josie, find themselves involved with a young "character" who goes by the name of Campion. She professes to be an alien from her Home planet who needs some help from Owen in contacting her parents when they return to Earth to get her. Owen is new to the area and a bit lonely, so he takes on the challenge of helping her hide from evil "Ray" while they plot to create a signal that will get her back to her Home. Together Owen and Campion create a signal and lie in wait for her parents to take them both away. Their plan maybe foiled when police show up and the spaceship's arrival seems to be delayed. Will Campion find her Home, or will another Home be a better option? Please find out!

Yes, it's been quite awhile since I've posted, but the many books I have read over the past several months are in circulation as soon as I finish them! I get so excited about the books I am reading, I can't wait to get it out to one of you avid readers, and then it doesn't seem to come available again because word gets around about how good a certain book is! Then you are my messengers, instead of this blog page. I will try to remain faithful to you in gtting the word out via this page, but if you witness a lapse in my online communication, just come by the library and I will recommend some books that fit you in person! I LOVE MY JOB!
