Another fun and silly story from David Walliams. It is the early 1960's and on a little farm Ruth and her little dog Yuri dream of the excitement of the space race and getting away from her awful aunt Dorothy.
As she watches the sky one night she sees a UFO! Not only does it crash on the farm but there is an actual ALIEN who stubles out of the crash!! HIding Spaceboy from her aunt is one thing but when the government gets involved there plenty of shenanigans as Ruth and Spaceboy try to escape. Will they ever manage to get to outer space?

This is a blend of lots of slapstick comedy, a sprinkle of history and lots of action and it is sure to have young readers laughing their heads off. Lots of illustrations, plenty of silliness, and a great layout will appeal even to reluctant readers.
