A Fun Filled Intergalactic Adventure!

HELP! ALIENS STOLE MY GRANDAD! is an intergalactic adventure that asks a lot
of BIG questions:

•    Why is Harrison Brown pretending to be the Earthling Prime Minister?
•    Who are the Cheddar Moon pirates and where’s their lucky parrot?
•    What happens when you fire your dead grandpa’s ashes into space?

One teensy little fib plunges foolhardy ten-year-old Harrison headfirst into a daft and
dangerous lunar parrot search. He’ll be plundering from pirates, wrangling space
cows and even coming face-to-face with a ghost captain. But if he can’t find
the pirates’ missing parrot by bedtime, he’ll be forced to walk the plank… into the
BLACK HOLE.

Expect gasps, giggles and cheese puns galore in a heartwarming tale that’s literally
out of this world.

‘A swashbuckling, out-of-this-world adventure that is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, gasp dramatically and grin from ear to ear. Another hilariously heartwarming tale from the brilliantly funny, Hannah Moffatt.’

 

– Jo Clarke, The Travelling School Mysteries

A madcap space quest with a motley crew of alien pirates, excellent cheese puns, cute parrots and laughs aplenty. Hannah has created a story that’s full of warmth, wit and a celebration of the special relationship between kids and their grandparents. It’s another middle grade comedy gem for readers who loved Small and Small Bites Back! 

 

– Lucy Brandt, Leonora Bolt: Secret Inventor

Hilarious and heartfelt in equal measure
