Reviews

'“In a hilarious romp that moves fast enough to keep young readers on the edge of their seats, several world presidents, a farting policeman and a very angry lollipop lady join the fight to save Earth and humanity. But who will ultimately succeed? Incidental black-and-white illustrations and plenty of alien-related activities add to the enjoyment of this brilliant first chapters book.”' BookTrust

'The humour (the eating of brains, the effects of cheese and onion pasties on the police chief's digestive system) will appeal to many a newly confident reader and Freddy and Sal are engaging characters who try to sort out the invasion they have inadvertently started.' School Zone

'[…] a story packed with jokes to keep young readers entertained. ' Sunday Express Magazine

'“My son found it absolutely hilarious…definitely a laugh out loud book.” ' Toppsta

'“Brilliant funny story that my daughter loved reading, she says she can’t wait for another one.” ' Toppsta

'“This book had my boys in absolute stitches throughout, it was a good book to read aloud especially if you are like me and like to do the different characters voices.”' Toppsta

'“ […] a fast paced adventure with plenty of silliness of the kind my boys adore.”' Ollie and Toby, 8 and 6, LoveReading
