One-Eyed Eben and the Planet Jumping Giant from Outer Space

2020

It's hard not to be scared when even the sky is your enemy That’s how Eben Kingsbee feels after being hit with a meteor, losing his eye, and ending up with a fistful of stardust lodged in his brain. Now he wears construction goggles wherever he goes, which is usually nowhere but his front yard. Who knows when the universe will decide to fastball a space rock at his head again? All that changes when a mysterious girl digs underneath his fence and destroys his sanctuary. With no other choice but to battle her for his yard, their skirmish forces Eben into the surrounding forest, a place that just happens to be under the direct footfall of the All-Jumper, a creature so large that it uses planets as steps to leap through the universe. Picked up in the giant's foot fungus, Eben is put into an unimaginable landscape with his dog and the one human being he can’t stand as his companions…not to mention a few thousand aliens the All-Jumper has picked up along the way. He needs to find a way home. But how can he do that when the other aliens think they’re being taken to paradise and have never bothered to figure out a way to leave? When a devious plot threatens to disrupt the All-Jumper’s journey, Eben learns he might be the one key to helping it reach its destination, a place that could free him of his fears once and for all. Terrified and far away from home, Eben must choose between finding a way off the giant or becoming the hero that the All-Jumper needs. Come and get stuck in a story that readers are calling Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets James and the Giant Peach
