Description
What would YOU do if a flying saucer landed outside your home? . . .
Danny Chaucer is lonely. Life's boring since his best friend moved away. Nat Ford is the new girl in class and spends half her time trying to dodge the school bullies. Nothing interesting ever happens in their dead-end village. Nothing, that is until one still, starry night something lands in the trees behind Danny's house. And then the sinister Captain Frost turns up, looking for something.
There might be only one way to escape – and that's up . . .
A fun and engaging sci-fi adventure with strong themes about friendship and bullying.
An exciting story that kids will love and a great book to inspire reluctant readers to pick up. A perfect way to remind fans of Star Wars and Dr Who that books contain amazing science fiction universes as well.
The first book in a series – Danny and his friends will be back!
About the Author
Christopher Peter is the author of two previous books for children, Falling Girl and BASIC Boy. He was inspired to start writing seriously after having children of his own – both because he believes that books are crucial to raising children and because it reminded him of the wonderful books that shaped him when he was young. Christopher Peter was born in Rochford, Essex, and now lives in Oxford with his wife and three children.

Danny lives in a small town and is lonely as his best friend just moved away. His only other friend is Nat, a young woman who spends a lot of time hiding from bullies. There isn't much for him to do until the Flying Saucer arrives complete with Captain Frost, a big bully.
