#MiddleGrade #SciFi: Boys vs Alien is book-1 of the Earth in Danger Series

Posted on July 22, 2024July 24, 2024 by Upreet Dhaliwal

The Blurb

Sharanjit Thind is sick of his drab, regular life, and cannot wait for school to end for the summer. Hopeful of finally finding some excitement in life, he is sublimely unaware of the saying ‘Be careful what you wish for.’ For it is on the last day of school, right after a farewell party for their seniors, that Sharan comes face to face with terrifying events that will change his life forever…

Within the next twenty-four hours, he will be visited by an alien, kidnapped by the creature, and his friends, Umang and Qamar, will be gravely endangered. Not only will their sanity be threatened, their beloved planet Earth will come horrifyingly close to a takeover by the villainous inhabitants of the planet Zakerl.

Too much for three fifteen-year old boys to handle? Read the book to find out.

Note: This book was originally published as The Zaken Takeover in 2012. The current version is significantly updated, and has some new sections and adventures.

About the Authors

Upreet is an eye surgeon who enjoys reading and writing, watching romantic comedies, and creating lacy stuff using a crochet hook. She usually writes romance and poetry [as Reet Singh]. This is her first full-length novel for middle-grade readers.

Dilsher is now a head-hunter [a recruitment professional is a tamer way to say it] based in Toronto, Canada, but when he wrote the early chapters of this story, he was not yet a teenager. With his flair for words and his vivid imagination, he has conjured up the more gruesome aspects recounted in this book.

The three friends, Sharan, Umang, and Qamar can’t resist calls to adventure. So when Qamar’s Uncle goes missing in the jungles of the Western Ghats, they decide that they must do something to help find him. Book-2 is in its first draft, and should be ready for middle-graders soon. Get ready to go on another journey with the three boys you meet in Boys vs Alien.
