Letters from an Alien Schoolboy

Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize
Shortlisted for the Tower Hamlets Books Award

Flowkwee is helping his dad study Earthlings by disguising
himself as a schoolboy. But he’s not prepared for how
disgusting they are, or how stupid. He discovers the fool-proof
way to catch young Earthlings is to tell them to follow a sign
saying ‘Free ice cream!’ But can he keep his true identity
secret? And can he save Earth from disaster?

The first in a hilarious new series for young readers, illustrated throughout with wacky pictures!

‘Infectiously funny, and more importantly relevant . . . genuine deeper
undertones on diversity – bio-diversity – equality – acceptance – historical meaning – lessons learned – and the danger of not learning them. It is like
reading a child’s version of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.' Write Away

 

 

'Packed with some hilarious illustrations and the story itself
is a real page-turner.'
Lovereading

'Very funny … very good fun to
read and the illustrations

Carousel

'Hilarious story that will have

Letters from an Alien Schoolboy:
Cosmic Custard

Here is a horrifyingly hilarious tale of alien attacks, daring deeds,
great big enormous wobbly BADDIES and
teeny weeny wibbly BADDIES.
Will Flowkwee prove that four heads are better than one –
and save Earth?
Will all the miserable whining Earthlings and the fluffy clouds
and chocolate and cheerful worms and cardboard be destroyed?
If you are the kind of lazy good for nothing duffer of an Earthling
who just browses on to another webpage then you’ll never ever
ever ever ever know.

'There's something funny and clever on every page and
it's every bit as witty and entertaining as the first book.
It's entertaining on lots of different levels: buried within the sheer daft exuberance of the plot are astute observations on human life in all its irrationality. *****'
Books for Keeps

'Ros Asquith has endlessly inventive ways with words and
pictures to tickle and touch children’s imagination. Out of this world!'
Bestselling author Ian Whybrow
