Brady Steele lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and loves to go camping and for extreme mountain bike rides with his cousin, Quinn. One night during summer vacation, Brady climbs out onto his roof to watch the Perseid meteor shower, as his house is far out of town and there are no lights to clutter his view of the stars. The sky suddenly turns a bright blue, and a fireball comes crashing right through his roof -- and right through the bed where normally he would have been sleeping! Fred, as Brady and Quinn name the potato-size space rock, turns out to be one of the rarest kinds of meteorites. Professor Ripley from the museum in Hill City takes a sliver of it to study, in hopes of finding evidence of extraterrestrial life, even if it's only bacteria. Brady, his neighbor's vicious dog Attila, and the professor all experience some unusual abilities and effects from Fred -- but is this good or bad? 6th grade and up. ( )

Brady Steele is home alone the night a meteorite comes crashing through his roof and goes through his bed. He can’t wait to tell his cousin all about it. The name the meteorite Fred, short for Far Roaming Earth Diver. What Brady and his cousin Quinn didn’t realize is that this meteorite is the rarest kind. They also didn’t realize that it would work wonders in Brady’s life for a day and then start working against him. The question is can Brady convince his cousin that he isn’t losing his mind? If he can will his cousin be able to save him?
A lot of the book was based on scientific fact. This made me wonder if scientist have found life on Mars and aren’t telling us because of what they have learned? Could what they know be used for evil if in the wrong hands? Don’t understand what I am talking about? Read the book. It was a good one and a quick read. ( )
