Product Description

A meteorite is hurtling toward the Black Hills of South Dakota. . . .

Brady Steele watches in awe as a fireball comes crashing through the roof of his house. Brady immediately calls up his cousin, Quinn. They both love all things extreme, and this is the most extreme thing ever!

Fred, as Brady names his space rock, turns out to be one of the rarest meteorites ever found. Professor Rip Ripley from the museum in Hill City wants to study a sliver of it in search of extraterrestrial bacteria. He's hoping to discover the first proof of life beyond Earth, a momentous breakthrough for the new science of astrobiology.

During a wild week of extreme bicycling, fishing, and caving, Brady and Quinn battle their rivals, the notorious Carver boys, for possession of the meteorite. With each new day, Brady is discovering he's able to do strange and wonderful feats that shouldn't be possible. At the same time, he's developing some frightening symptoms. Could he be infected with long-dormant microbes from space? Is Fred a prize or a menace?

Go Big Or Go Home
In the Black Hills of South Dakota one dark summer night, a meteor shower started. Little balls of fire crashed down to earth with super sonic speed. Brady heard a big boom coming from the house and he ran back to find a hole in his roof. He finds a meteorite on the floor of his bedroom. While days go by, strange and weird thing start happening to Brady. He gets amazing amounts of energy, strength and courage to do extreme things like going real fast on a dirt bike or doing a slam-dunk in basketball.
I love this book because it is grabbing and funny. It contains adventure and extreme sports. I recommend this book to any one that likes an adventure or a little bit of mystery. It was hard to put this book down because every page is like a new chapter in Brady's life. I didn't want to put this book down; it was that great.
