Reviews

  • "If for any reason you feel the need for a funny book, especially one to read aloud to keep the whole family chortling, Martin Howard's second title about Alfie Fleet has an exceptionally high joke count... Lots of silly names, lavatorial humour and unrestrained and unexpected one-liners, plus lively illustrations, make this the ultimate intergalactic escapism." - Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week
  • "More than funny fiction – this story does for travel guides what Wimpy Kid did for diaries and Tom Gates did for doodle books. With amazing illustrations by Chris Mould throughout, this book is a visual feast and will appeal to readers everywhere." - Books for Topics
