The Boy Who Fell from the Sky by Jule Owen

The world is falling apart in 2055. Another flood has devastated London, on the eve of the First Space War. With the city locked down, sixteen-year-old Mathew Erlang is confined to his house with only his cat, his robot and his holographic dragons for company.

Desperate for a distraction from the chaos around him, Mathew becomes fascinated by his peculiar and reclusive neighbour, August Lestrange. Mathew begins to investigate Mr. Lestrange, turning to the virtual world of the Nexus and Blackweb for answers. But as he digs deeper, Mathew realises that Mr. Lestrange doesn't seem quite human.

When Mathew accidentally finds himself trapped in Lestrange's house, he opens a door and falls four hundred years into the future. Unwittingly, he starts to destabilise the course of human history.

The Boy Who Fell from the Sky delves into a future where climate change and technology have transformed the world. It is the first book in The House Next Door trilogy, a young adult dystopian science fiction action adventure.

Jule Owen was born in a little village located between Snowdonia, the Irish Sea, and the Pennines in the north of England. She now lives in London, United Kingdom, where the temperature is warmer and there are more museums, but she misses the vast open landscapes and clean water. Jule worked in online technology for many years, most recently in the video game sector, and is fascinated by science, technology, and futurology, which she blogs and tweets about on a regular basis. Her works are a creative response to the rapid advancement of technological innovation in the face of climate change, with a dash of magic tossed in for good measure.
