description: Twelve-year-old Simon is obsessed with aliens. The ones who take people and do experiments. When he's too worried about them to sleep he listens to the owls hoot outside. Owls that have the same eyes as aliensdark and foreboding.Then something strange happens on a camping trip and Simon begins to suspect hes been abducted. But is it real or just the overactive imagination of a kid who loves fantasy and role-playing games and is the target of bullies and his fathers scorn?Even readers who dont believe in UFOs will relate to the universal kid feeling of not being taken seriously by adults that deepens this deliciously scary tale.
