The Boy from the Sunflower Fields (The Lumo Chronicles)

By VIKTOR PIDLISOVSKYI

Ten-year-old Viktor is a quiet boy who feels more at home with the constellations than with the kids in his small Ukrainian village. He's timid, thoughtful, and spends his nights dreaming of faraway galaxies from his rooftop. But he never imagined one of those galaxies would visit him.

When a shimmering "star" crashes into the sunflower field behind his house, Viktor discovers something incredible: Lumo, a small, terrified alien creature with soft lavender fur, enormous glowing eyes, and a talent for getting into trouble.

Viktor knows he must protect his new friend, but keeping a creature from another planet a secret isn't easy. To keep Lumo safe from suspicious neighbors and village bullies, the quiet boy must find a courage he never knew he possessed. With the help of his brave little sister, Julia, what begins as a secret friendship soon becomes a heroic mission: to repair Lumo's broken spaceship.

Can a boy who's afraid of a barking dog, his five-year-old sister, and a furry alien who eats strawberries figure out how to catch lightning in a bottle and send Lumo back to the stars?

The Boy from the Sunflower Fields is the first book in the heartwarming Lumo Chronicles series. It's a magical story about the courage we find for those we love, a friendship that spans the universe, and the extraordinary adventures that can hide just beyond your own backyard.
