The Silhouette (Alan Quinn and the Second Lifes)

The story of a boy named Alan Quinn, searching for his father in the middle of supernatural war.As far back as Alan Quinn can remember, his family has been on the move. Australia, Brazil, London, Germany; they've never been anywhere for very long. But, when his family settles in the small town of Ashton, Kansas, Alan feels like he can finally call a place home. That is until his father runs away, his mom gives up on the search, and Alan is left to investigate. Together with new friends, the LeCarre's, a new dog, Peaches, and a new ally, Darius, who seems to know more than he leads on, Alan is brought closer to the answers he seeks, but a species his father only described in the stories he told has been awakened, leaving Alan to discover what is hiding in the shadows: The Silhouettes.
