Life in school can be hard. It can be even harder when youre an alien spy sent to Earth to discover what the planet is like before the invasion fleet arrives. And its even harder than that when youre quite short and your Earthling disguise makes you look like a ten-year-old... Join Ally N. Invasion in his quest to uncover the secrets of English lessons, P.E., D.T., P.S.H.E. and lots of other letters. Along the way, hell make friends and mistakes and a rather nice model of a rocket. But what will he do when seventy-five giant alien spaceships arrive, just after home time...? I wrote this book as a tribute to all of the fantastic children Ive taught over the years. Many of them were the inspiration behind the characters, says author Steve, whose novel will be enjoyed by seven- to eleven-year-old fans of science-fiction and humorous stories. Other than his previous students, Steve has also taken inspiration from Andy Stantons Mr. Gum series and the works of Spike Milligan. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout in black and white.
