Growing up bullied and poor, nine-year-old Mary Schmidt's life hasn't been easy. But everything changes on a fateful summer's night in 1947 when she stumbles upon a crashed alien spaceship and its lone surviving passenger. After the alien is discovered by others, Mary makes a split-second decision to blast off into space with the alien's rescue team.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, it is now the 1960s and Mary's younger brother George has grown up seeking answers about her disappearance. As George delves into the mystery surrounding his sister's sudden departure, he uncovers secrets that stretch far beyond the confines of their small town.

MARY & THE ALIENS spans generations, weaving together threads of friendship, courage, and self-reliance. Part One delves into the darkness of escapism and trauma, while Part Two explores themes of resilience and the strength found in overcoming adversity, and how the darkest moments can ultimately lead to growth and empowerment.

Content notice: mentions of abuse and alcoholism.

MARY & THE ALIENS is a republication of the two novels, MARY & THE ALIEN: BOOK ONE and MARY & THE ALIEN: BOOK TWO.

Reviews for Mary & the Aliens

"""Mary & the Alien [Book One] is a melancholy story that provides a measure of hope to kids who find themselves the victims of abuse or bullying. The story takes place decades ago, but the problems little Mary is confronted with are just as pertinent today. Throughout the narrative, Ashley Good does an amazing job capturing the innocence and intuition of youth. ... If you've ever struggled to find a place in your own life, let Mary & the Alien be your escape!"" - Indies Today"
