Not Alone by FREDERIC P MARTIN

If you are seeking a break from dystopian or high fantasy sci-fi, this may be just what you are looking for.

Exploring the genesis of the teen opioid epidemic, but with a hard science fiction twist, Not Alone is a YA sci-fi thriller set in down-to-earth rural Vermont:.

It’s summer, 2011, and for four and a half years, all Blue has been looking for is a normal life after losing her family in a suspicious fire. But what is normal for a fourteen-year-old that can hear what no one else can? And what should she do when she hears something that presents a tantalizing opportunity to avenge her family? With an unexpected new friend and ally, she comes up with a slam-dunk plan. All she has to do is risk everything, including both of their lives.
