Synopsis

Here is a horrifyingly hilarious tale of alien attacks, daring deeds, great
big enormous wobbly baddies and teeny weeny wibbly baddies.

Will Flowkee prove that four heads are better than one and save Earth? Will all the miserable whining Earthlings and the fluffy clouds and chocolate and cheerful worms and cardboard be destroyed?

If you are the kind of lazy good-for-nothing duffer of an Earthling who just
puts this book right back on the shelf then you'll never ever ever ever  ever know.

About this title

Review:

"This is the second volume of Letters from an Alien Schoolboy and every bit as witty and entertaining as the first, which is currently on the shortlist for the Roald Dahl Funny Book Prize. ... It's unusual to find a book where there is something funny and clever on every page, but Ros Asquith has managed it. The Alien Schoolboy stories entertain on lots of different levels: buried within the sheer daft exuberance of the plots are astute observations on human life in all its irrationality, including mankind's obsession with the weather, bathrooms, cars and money. There are sharp one liners, and some favourite old jokes too, but Asquith's invention never flags. Her cartoon illustrations and their droll captions add to the fun." --Books for Keeps, October 21, 2011

"This new adventure of the Alien Schoolboy is packed full of excellent jokes that will delight fans of the original title."
--Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids, October 28, 2011

"Imagine My Step Parents are Aliens colliding with The Secret Diary of
Adrian Mole.Š This funny tale, underscored with some cracking cartoons is a great laugh, especially for those with typically schoolboy humour." ­--Carousel March 2011

"Infectiously funny. A child's version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."­ --Write Away

"This book has been called one of the funniest books of the year. We agree ... very funny and will have you laughing out loud. Parents will love this one too." --Primary Times in the Midlands & Black Country, October 2011
