About this ebook

An absolute delight of a madcap story for the young (and young-at-heart) by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, with equal parts pirates and piranhas, adventure and aliens, oddity and love.

"I bought the milk," said my father. "I walked out of the corner shop, and heard a noise like this: t h u m m t h u m m. I looked up and saw a huge silver disc hovering in the air above Marshall Road."

"Hullo," I said to myself. "That's not something you see every day. And then something odd happened."

Find out just how odd things get in this hilarious story of time travel and breakfast cereal, expertly told by Newbery Medalist and bestselling author Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young.

Ratings and reviews

I went through all the title pages and dedications, and the whole book was literally two pages with two pictures and it said "you have finished your book..." I want my money back!

I don't know why but i can't download it properly. It said 85 pages but i've only able to read a couple of pages. However love the illustration so much.

I bought it, because I absolutely love Coraline and Graveyard Book. My adventure with young adults' books somehow ended up with an uninteresting children's book.
