Letters From An Alien Schoolboy

Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize
Shortlisted for the Tower Hamlets Book Award

A side-splitting look at school-life, from an alien point of view

Earthlings. You can't help being fiendishly ugly and hideously stupid.
But hooray and yippee – four-headed Flowkwee and his family have come to Earth to Improve you.

If you don't read this book, you will never find out how they're going to Improve humans.
Or why the Earth could be turned into a giant spinach farm.
Or how Flowkwee gets on in his schoolboy disguise.
Or the importance of ice cream and cola bottles and cute little flies.
You will only have yourselves to blame.


The first in a hilarious new series for young readers, illustrated throughout with wacky pictures!

'Infectiously funny. A child's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'
WriteAway

'Packed with some hilarious illustrations and the story itself is a real page-turner.'
Lovereading

'Very funny … lots of jokes about perfectly ordinary things we do but if you view it from an alien’s point of view, of course they look perfectly ridiculous … very good fun to read and the illustrations are fantastic.' The Guardian

'Hilarious story that will have kids laughing out loud … fantastically funny illustrations.'
Parents In Touch

'The story is fun with plenty of cartoon annotations to help Rok and the reader understand the challenges faced by Flock and his family on their mission to Earth.'
School Librarian

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

'Infectiously funny, and more importantly relevant . . . like reading a child’s version of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and anyone reading it will be affected by it – on some level.'
Write Away

'Earthlings, especially younglings, will enjoy this fantastic book with its quirky illustrations.'
