What Fell from the Sky - Adrianna Cuevas

WHAT FELL FROM THE SKY is about a Cuban American boy who must join forces with his friends to help reunite an alien girl with her parents–all while their Texan town is swarming with military officers on a mysterious mission. Based on true events that occurred in 1950s America, the story is about Pineda, a boy whose rural Texan town becomes the setting of a military training exercise in which the army pretends to be Communist forces that have taken over. But after Pineda runs into an alien girl from space looking to reunite with her parents, he believes there is more behind the army’s presence than what they have claimed. Vowing to keep her safe, Pineda and his friends embark on an impossible mission to bring the alien girl back to her parents without getting thwarted by military officers' hidden agenda.
