Singing All the Way Up

“Knowing and accepting the truth are two different things, and they're getting closer all the time.” Singing All the Way Up by Stephanie Sanders-Jacob is a genre-defying novel of science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age. Young protagonist Laura was abducted by aliens, singing all the way up the tractor beam...or was she? She recalls nothing of The Incident, but that doesn't stop her parents, folks at UFO conventions, and others from believing. In many ways this short book is about relationships, disclosure of truth, and the complex multifaceted and mysterious nature of reality that can make both survivors and monsters of us all. Written in a fast-paced highly compelling plot - interspersed with stories of real alien abductions, UFO sighting, and Cryptid encounters - I found this book extremely readable and enjoyable. Toward the end my empathy for Laura began to diminish, but I think the author poses some interesting ethical questions for the reader and gives us a lot to think about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
