Synopsis

He’s the only one who can fix the splintered sphere in the sky. But first he’ll have to defeat his own insecurities… Rieden Reece feels angry all the time. Dealing with a typical thirteen-year-old life is bad enough, but the troubled boy navigates school bullies, a divorced mom he needs to protect, and an absent dad. But when one night his bedroom shakes violently, he peers out his window and watches in stunned disbelief as the moon up above breaks apart. Alarmed when a shadowy figure climbs out of the cracked orb, Rieden is shocked when the quirky alien reveals he’s been sent from the future to help him find something mission-critical. And now thrust into an epic battle against immense evil powers, unstoppable enemies, and scary black hole faces, the determined teen fears all worlds are on the brink of collapse. Can one average youth save an entire universe from a countdown to catastrophe? Rieden Reece and the Broken Moon is the thrilling first book in the Rieden Reece middle grade science fiction series. If you or your child like captivating characters, exhilarating flights of fantasy, and finely crafted suspense, then you’ll love Matt Guzman’s action-packed adventure. Buy Rieden Reece and the Broken Moon to stitch the galaxy back together today!
