An ancient, beautiful boy falls from the sky into Wheatley, Kansas - and discovers, among one ordinary family, the meaning of friendship, home, and real love.
When a green light crashes into the wheat fields outside Wheatley, Kansas, Kiran Hayes should call the sheriff. Instead, he finds a terrified, beautiful boy in the wreckage - glowing, and hunted by military helicopters.
His name is Aruvan.
He is not an angel. He is not an alien. He is something older: a guardian tied to the living Earth, a being who has slept through centuries and woken into a world of satellites, social media, drones, and damage. The world sees only a dangerous mystery in the sky. Kiran sees a boy who needs help.
Hidden on Blue Stem Farm, Aruvan learns the modern world one strange lesson at a time: family dinners, high school, sarcasm, football, phones, and the impossible comfort of being wanted for himself. But as videos of the Green Apparition spread across the globe, the search for him closes in - and the bond between Aruvan and Kiran becomes harder to explain, harder to hide, and impossible to ignore.
Who is this book for?
If you like slice-of-life fantasy, found family, beautiful friendships, strange boys with impossible secrets, and people slowly falling in love against all odds, then The Boy From Nebraska may be for you.
It is for readers who enjoy quiet emotional moments as much as wonder, family dinners as much as flight, and romance that begins with trust before it ever becomes love.
