Andy McBean and the War of the Worlds

Andy McBean is struggling to survive Middle School in the soggy hills of the Pacific Northwest. 
When a meteor storm devastates the county, one giant rock lands on Andy’s front lawn. The meteor draws the attention of the media, the army, and even the new girl from Andy’s art class, but everything changes when the boulder opens and a giant tripod steps out.
Separated from his family, Andy must fend for himself and rescue his friends. Along the way he meets an alien, learns what they want on planet earth, and devises a bold plan to stop them.
