Signal, by Cynthia DeFelice
It's summer and 12 year-old Owen has just moved to the Finger Lakes region of New York. Since he hasn't made friends yet and his dad always seems to be working, he spends his time running the trails in the area. Following one of these trails, he comes upon a girl who appears to be alone and injured. From her story, it seems she is more alone than he is this summer. She tells him she is an alien waiting for her parents to return for her, and Owen has to help her prepare for the spaceship's arrival.
