The Train from Outer Space by Alan Sproles and Lizanne
Southgate is a young adult science fiction novel that follows two young boys as
they journey to save planet Earth. The Train from Outer Space by Alan Sproles
and Lizanne Southgate is a book that will appeal most to young adults who enjoy
stories on aliens. Brady is a young boy that is barely coping with the loss of
his father; Brady’s grief has caused him to push away the people that care
about him most. This all changes when Brady’s dog steals a mysterious glowing
tube off of a bio-mechanical train that almost runs Brady over one night. This
one event causes the renewal of Brady’s friendship with Franky as the two boys
try to figure out what happened, however they only uncover more mysteries as
they soon find an actual alien life form on Earth. Their discovery begins that
game that leaves planet Earth hanging in the balance.
Move over Captain James T Kirk and General Jack O'Neill and
make room for Brady and Franky. The Train from Outer Space by Alan Sproles and
Lizanne Southgate is a perfect book for a young adult audience as the main
characters are the same age as the audience so it makes it easier for the
readers to relate to the characters. The Train from Outer Space by Alan Sproles
and Lizanne Southgate is filled to the brim with all sorts of plot twists and
turns that keep the reader guessing the entire time. My favorite part was when
Brady and Franky first discover the alien called Lil Dude as this is the moment
that the alien adventure really kicks off.
