Tim Vicary's "The Visit" is a graded reader that tells a suspenseful and slightly mysterious story, often aimed at elementary-level English language learners. The plot typically revolves around:
Police
Constable Harry Evans is driving
along a quiet country road when he witnesses something truly extraordinary: strange
lights in the sky and a large, round, silver object hovering above the road.
He believes it's a spaceship. He's captivated by the colorful lights and
feels a sense of wonder and even happiness.
After a short time, the
object disappears in a flash of red light, leaving Harry feeling suddenly tired
and sad, almost as if he's lost something.
When Harry returns to the
police station, he tries to tell his story to his inspector, but no one
believes him. They dismiss his account as imagination or fatigue. However,
Harry has managed to collect a small sample of strange powder from the site
where the object landed. His friend, Constable Jim Deacon, takes the sample to
be analyzed, hoping it will provide proof of Harry's incredible encounter.
Despite the skepticism of
others, Harry is deeply affected by "the visit." His life changes
after that night. The story explores the impact of an unexplained, potentially
extraterrestrial encounter on an ordinary person, and the challenge of being
believed when you've witnessed something truly out of the ordinary. The mystery
often lies in what the "visit" truly means and how it will continue
to influence Harry's life.
