An awsome book

The Night the Heads Came is a pretty good book if you like sci-fi with aliens and heads in them. A sixteen year old boy named Tim was driving in his car with his best friend Leo. They woke up the next day thinking that aliens or the heads attacked them. The following day Tim's dad took them to a psychiatrist because Leo and Tim didn't no what happened. They told the psychiatrist about the heads but he didn't believe them, he said the aliens put a false memory in their heads hoping that none would find out about it. Tim told Dr.Viridain about a dream or what he thought happened before he was abducted. He said aliens brought him up into there space shuttle so he could save the world. A few days later the aliens where back for Tim and Leo. Leo called another doctor about people getting abducted by aliens and she made an appointment for him. That night after the appointment he was driving home and lost control over the steering wheel, the aliens were controlling it. He started speeding a little faster until he saw Tim on the side of the road with a portfolio of drawings in it. Leo pressed on the brake and stopped Tim jumped in and hung on. I asked him what's going on and he said, "they like my drawing". As they went home there parents where there waiting for Tim because they where really worried. That night the aliens and heads sorrounded the house wanting Tim and his drawings. Leo said not to go out of the house because they wanted u to take over the world like the others. You'll have to read it to find out what happens to Tim and his drawings!

The Night The Heads Came

This book is the best I have read for a while if not ever. Tim and Leo are good characters, they are fun to read about, and Sleator describes them very well. As Leo and Tim are going to New York to show some people Tim's drawings they both get abducted, but only Leo returns, and he has to deal with the police and Tims father and everything else, but then suddenl Tim returns, but he his older and thinner. What happened? Read the book to find out.
