A Distant Calling

Daniel Weber draws distant worlds he's seen only in his dreams, until his father's satellite begins sending back images of the very same places.

Alien landscapes. Strange skies. Worlds no human has ever set foot on. Daniel has filled page after page with them, never dreaming they were real.

Now Sweeper, the NASA satellite his father designed, has reached Alpha Centauri in search of life, and every image it sends home matches Daniel's drawings.

How could a teenage boy on Earth already know what lies light-years away?

As his dreams grow darker and more urgent, Daniel realizes they aren't just dreams. They're messages. Something out there is reaching for him, and he has to find out what it wants before it's too late.

A Distant Calling by Anna Elizabeth Judd is a gripping young adult science-fiction mystery about first contact, the search for life beyond our world and the chilling possibility that something out there has already found us.

His father built a machine to listen to the stars. Something chose to speak to Daniel instead.
