Life was very busy for a sunday afternoonA class freak, a science geek, and a girl from outer space. How much trouble can they get in? They're wanted by the Australian government, Coebri space pirates, and a silver man from the Universal Unity. There isn't enough science in the universe to keep them safe, but they'll have to try!

Feedback from Readers:
"Too good for words!" Hope, age 13. "I took your book home and read it and I think it is fabulous. In the beginning it looked like a regular young person's story about school bullies and then the story really took off when the space ship took off. I love the creatures and worlds you created. I think you have managed to combine the science into it in a really good way. It does not slow the story down but adds an extra dimension to the story for those that want it. I think it would make an exciting movie too. - Nikki, Self published author. Check out our new 'Boys Space' cover edition of book 1!Same book, new cover, apparently "more appealing to boys"
