Zero warnings.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eCrashed Landings\u003c\/b\u003e, editor David Badurina has assembled ten all-new stories inspired by the group-adventure films of the 1980s and '90s -\u003ci\u003eThe Goonies, Explorers, Stand by Me, The Sandlot\u003c\/i\u003e--where a strange event throws mismatched kids together and nothing is ever quite the same afterward.\u003cbr\u003eA boy and his bully chase a fallen meteorite through the woods - only to find out it belongs to someone else. Three friends on prom night stumble onto a robot that fell out of the sky, and have to put it back together before the town pays the price. A fungal alien heart crash-lands in the forest and starts rewriting the wildlife. A teen grief camp gets an unexpected visitor from a crashing seed-pod. A space trucker with a time-traveling rig and a trunk full of contraband coffee recruits a girl with a slingshot and a very good reason to disappear. A boy in Kansas realizes the thing living in his skin isn't quite him anymore. Bird-like aliens help a crash-landed human pilot evade an enemy patrol on a planet that isn't Earth. And more.\u003cbr\u003eThese stories share a DNA: \u003cb\u003eemotion, banter, wide-eyed wonder, and the kind of friendship that only happens when the world gets weird enough to need it.\u003c\/b\u003e Good guys and bad situations. Stakes that feel real. Characters you'll root for. Endings you'll remember.\u003cbr\u003eIf you grew up watching kids on bikes outrun something impossible, and you've been waiting for that feeling in prose, \u003cb\u003eCrashed Landings\u003c\/b\u003e is for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTen stories.
