From Beyond the Stars by Morgan Scott Bard

Cassius is determined to keep his best friend Isla safe. But when a meteor crashes on a nearby hillside, she runs to investigate. And Cassius has no choice but to race after her.

He can’t lose her. She’s all he has. If another loved one passes, it’ll crush him. And when they discover what really fell from the sky, his whole world is flipped upside down. At first, he is stunned by the unusual sight. Down, in the crater, is a blue little blob. A creature, from beyond the stars… An alien. One that unexpectedly forces itself into his life.

Cassius is anxious to get rid of it. He wants nothing to do with this dangerous outsider. But when he’s forced to face off with body-snatching extraterrestrials, mind-reading foes, and a crazy monk with psychic powers, he is backed up against the wall.
