If you love science fiction, like Doctor Who, Stranger Things, and Star Trek, but also enjoy coming-of-age tales like Heartstopper, this book is for you. When teenage Londoner Bobby Morris witnesses a mysterious accident in Piccadilly Circus, he thinks it is just another moment of madness in a city that thrives on chaos. But the dying man is not what he seems; he’s Max Janus, a two-thousand-year-old alien enforcer from a distant world. In his final seconds, Max transfers his energy soul into Bobby, creating an uneasy alliance in one body. Bobby is left juggling college, secrets, and a sarcastic alien guest in his head while avoiding deadly Deceptors, rogue aliens who’ll stop at nothing to capture Max. With his family and friends at risk and a deadly creature in the world, Bobby must decide if he is just a kid from North London or the one to save them. Witty, fast-paced and filled with action, Max and the Hidden Visitor is a sci-fi fantasy where growing up can also include saving the world. Max and the Hidden Visitor appeals to anyone who loves science fiction and coming-of-age stories in an action-packed, page-turning adventure for adults and young adults 12 and over.
