An Extra-Ordinary Beginning

by A.D. Winch

In 1947 a UFO crash landed in Roswell, USA. There were no known alien survivors.

Over sixty years later two unique children from very different backgrounds discover they have abilities far beyond the ordinary. Only a secret US agency knows why.

The children, Eric and Ursula, embark on an exciting journey to find the answers. Answers that lie in old space debris scattered across Europe.

Their every move is monitored and a deadly game of cat and mouse begins. Will they find the secrets to their shared past? Or will the agency find them first?

About the author

I’m the author of the ‘Adventures of Eric and Ursula’. Over the last 18 years, I have lived near Dracula's castle in Transylvania, war-torn Sri Lanka and above the Hadron Collider in Geneva. Currently, I live in Prague, not far from a space rocket covered in giant babies.

I wrote ‘An Extra-Ordinary Beginning’ over nine months, while waiting for the birth of my son. I have also written, and directed, plays for children around the world. For an older audience, I wrote the films ‘Seagulls’ which was shown at the Brighton Film Festival and ‘your baby disappeared’ which premiered in Prague in 2011. When I am not writing I enjoy spending time with my family, cycling, watching movies, listening to comedy and being creative.

Reviews

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

I chose this book in order to use it in my year 5 English lessons and am so glad I did as it both engages and excites. It has strong themes such as identity, family and friendship that young readers will identify with whilst also capturing the adult reader with its links to Roswell.
A good read for any age.
