Review: Fast-moving plot line, atrocious grammar!

This could have been a delightful sci-fi novel, pitting a 14-year-old girl against an alien race out to turn Earth into a lifeless desert. Sadly, the tons of grammatical errors are so distracting that it's hard to enjoy the tale, There is a difference between "ship's" and "ships" that the author apparently knows nothing about. "Your" and "you're" are not interchangeable either. Nor are "there" and "their," ad infinitum....The content: Alec is an inventor who has come up with an anti-gravity "blanket" that can be wrapped around essentially anything. Jesse, his daughter just happens to think differently - she sees electrical pattern and can handle them without knowledge of the fundaments. Sofie, daughter of her father's partner and her best friend, is the smart one who can actually control Jesse's and Alec's inventions.The trouble begins with an alien race that wants either to have the anti-gravity design or to see that no one has it. That leads to some fascinating and unconventional altercations. The book is intended as a series opener, but concludes the plot line, so it can be read as a stand alone. It would have been a fun novel had it been slapped into shape!!!
