Summary from Simon and Schuster
When, one morning, Mum calls Albie for school, he really doesn't want to
go, He's too busy playing space rescues with his toys. But, when Albie
steps into the playground, he quickly realizes that this isn't any old
school. It's Alien School and there's a big, shaggy alien heading in his
direction!
Join Albie as he makes intergalactic friends, enjoys
space-ghetti at the school canteen and rides on space scooters - school
has never been so much fun!
Nayuleska's thoughts
I loved how
the story started off as something readers would recognise, then leads
into a realm literally out of this world. What made it such a fun read
were the brightly coloured aliens and little extra touches like planets
on the school bags and spaceship on the cereal box. I hate human maths, but alien maths is a
cool concept I'd love to learn about!
Suggested readWith equally bright illustrations and lots of drama, try Monster Baby by Lee Carr (Children's, Picture book, 10E/10E)
