Rieden Reece Series

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD RIEDEN REECE HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS. THEN THE MOON BREAKS. Rieden Reece is not exactly having a great year. His dad is absent. His mom is stressed. School bullies make every day worse. And Ri is pretty sure being thirteen should not feel this complicated. Then one night, his bedroom shakes, the moon cracks apart, and a bizarre alien creature climbs out of the sky. So... that's new.

His teachers might be aliens. Something impossible is reaching him from another universe. And Ri is starting to wonder if he’s completely losing his mind. Thirteen-year-old Rieden Reece thought surviving a broken moon was complicated. Then an alien sunflower spits out a mysterious space watch—and suddenly Ri finds himself connected to something that shouldn’t exist.

When Ri is thrust into the Candy Cosmos-a strange universe filled with sugar-inspired aliens—he acquires unlimited power! No limits—anything he desires becomes reality with one finger snap. There’s only one catch. Although surrounded by mouthwatering delicacies, he cannot take a single bite. Lured into this twisted universe by a mysterious alien, Ri has no time to figure out who’s behind his latest conundrum. He must first locate the precious treasure that’ll liberate him from his perilous paradox of power.

Rieden Reece feels the weight of the world on his shoulders. Doing community service in the park for stealing electronics in a lifesaving mission, the dejected juvenile delinquent is still battling a strange alien foe intent on his destruction. But when he sees his best friend disappear into a puddle on the ground, the thirteen-year-old leaps into the unknown hole in a daring rescue attempt.

Rieden Reece is anxious and angry. With all the grown-ups out of commission, the worried teen is working with his best pal to control the mobs of upset children. And after an electric girl shows up out of nowhere, he, his buddies, and three of the worst bullies ever follow her cryptic clues into a bizarre alien tavern full of danger.

Rieden Reece wishes the universe would cut him some slack. Suffering from unrelenting headaches after his last adventure, the teen can’t shake the feeling that the answers are stashed inside his body. So when his shadow turns sentient, the curious 13-year-old tails it to a nightmarish mansion… and discovers a hidden alien AI network. Hooking up to tech that claims it will bring endless harmony, Rieden struggles to adjust to the bossy new voice in his brain. And as he delves into the mind-melding supercomputer's motives, the snarky teenager suspects one wrong move could doom planet Earth.
