The Alien Abduction of Andrew and Thomas Reed

Thomas, Andrew, and Hellen Reed

Andrew and Thomas

Thomas Reed, 7, features a birthday hat, uneven clothes, and a missing tooth. These characteristics accent his precocious attitude. Andrew Reed, 11, is defined by his gentle, unsure stance and soft sweater.
