Finley Swinnerton is probably not the kind of person you’d chose to have on your side in a fight.
Until the events recounted in this story, the most dangerous things he’s ever done are staying up until midnight (on holiday) and gargling ‘Jingle Bells’ with milk.
He’s not brave either and in fact sending him out against the aliens that have invaded his school is like sending a chocolate bar to put out a fire. But Finley is smart (particularly in science), organised (he loves a list), loyal and, we discover, capable of extraordinary things. No matter what the aliens throw at him – purple gunk, bubbling slime, freezing green snot – he finds a way round it and saves the day.
Written by comedian Steve Williams, this out of this world adventure is as funny as you’d expect, but also exciting and even a little bit inspirational – if Finley can take on an alien horde, who’s to say what the rest of us can achieve too?
ALIENS HAVE INVADED LITTLE OAK SCHOOL!
When a school assembly is interrupted by an ALIEN INVASION, bookworm Finley Swinnerton finds himself catapulted into an unlikely quest to save the planet, humanity and even Derek the school Guinea Pig!
Join Finley for an OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD adventure as he grapples with alien assassins, cowardly headmasters and intergalactic overlords in a tale of slime, grime and PE teachers past their prime.
Get ready for the cosmic clash of the century... It’s TEACHERS versus ALIENS... versus THE KIDS!
Exploring themes of empathy, bravery, creativity, friendship, growing up, life changes and imagination this zany new laugh-out-loud series is set to delight readers aged 6-9 who love Pamela Butchart, Andy Griffiths and Liz Pichon.
