This is not science fiction or fantasy, even though the cover and title make perfect sense once you have read the book. UFO's do get a mention however. Jan Mark is a very good children's writer, with interesting plots and well differentiated characters and no facile answers to problems.
In this story 2 boys, with help from other family members, attempt to find out why their grandparent's generation became what one character refers to as a "thermonuclear family" - something happened and the brothers and sister never spoke to each other again. I enjoyed this book.
The Sighting first published 1997
