Description

Owen McGuire's summer takes an unexpected turn when he meets a girl with striking green eyes and mysterious injuries. She introduces herself as Campion, claiming to be from another world, and Owen agrees to help her signal for rescue. As they spend more time together, Owen finds himself happier than he has in a long time, feeling a sense of connection he's been missing since his mother passed away. As Owen navigates this new friendship, he begins to see the world in a different light. Campion's presence challenges his perceptions and forces him to confront his own feelings about loneliness and belonging. But when Campion asks Owen to join her on an intergalactic journey, he must decide whether to take a chance on something unknown or stay rooted in his familiar life. In this moving middle grade novel, two friendless kids find an unlikely sense of purpose together. With its themes of friendship, social themes and science fiction elements, Signal is a heartwarming story about finding what you need right where you are.
