Ted and Jimmy — Michael H. Raleigh

For ten years, the top-secret plans lay hidden in his father's office closet until Ted comes home from school insisting he needs an idea for his high school science competition project. Trying to keep a flying saucer secret for a seventeen-year-old boy is hard enough but when his father is diagnosed with cancer, it becomes a life struggle for Ted to hold everything together. With the support of family and friends through the next twelve months, he is finally able to see his dream of going to MIT come to fruition with the completion of the world's greatest accomplishment since the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Ted's invention is going to make the small town of Midvale, Utah, the topic of worldwide attention if he can keep three boys at school from learning his secret too soon.
