A thought-provoking sci-fi adventure. The inhabitants of the planet Harmony are delighted that their war with the Alien Federation is over. At the spaceport an excited crowd awaits the arrival of the aliens, who are coming to sign a peace treaty. Sadly, though, Zallie cannot be there. She has to stay at home and look after her little brother Dessie. But if she thinks she's missing out on an adventure, she soon has reason to think again, for, suddenly, the two children find themselves herded like cattle on board an enormous flying saucer and in peril of their lives.

Review
The inhabitants of planet Harmony are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Alien Federation so they can witness the signing of the promised peace treaty. But Zallie and her little brother Dessie find themselves herded aboard the alien space ship, and they realise that the Hooters might not come in peace as was expected. What follows is an adventure for young, confident readers who expect roller-coaster drama on every page of their book.
Capture by Aliens is sensitively written and incorporates edge-of-seat thrills with wry observation on the nature of humanity, all wrapped up in a deceptively simple package that will enthral any child. Ideal for confident read-aloners, and equally as ideal for reluctant readers who are looking for something to capture their imagination, Capture by Aliens is a fantastic book with a real twist in the tale. Age 7 and over --Susan Harrison
