World Eater
by Robert Swindells (Yearling)

Orville doesn’t dare mention his hobby at school, but waiting for his pigeon to lay eggs is mostly what takes up his thoughts. Until a great storm and the revelation of a new planet in the galaxy. But Orville doesn’t think it is a planet. And if it’s what he thinks it is… the Earth’s days are numbered. An unusual and quirkily gripping story.
