Description
The fourth and final adventure in the hilarious series about Scooter and his alien sidekick Fizzbee. The jam factory is under surveillance by the Alien Intelligence Agency β will they succeed in finding a reason to evict Fizzbee from Earth?
Scooter and Fizzbee are experts when it comes to making out-of-this-world jam inventions. But lately, there have been a few hiccups. Giant vegetables, floating children... their new line of jam infused with Fizzbee's alien ingredients has got a little out of control.
Scooter and his friends decide it's time to launch Operation: Make Fizzbee Look Good to reassure the villagers that Fizzbee isn't dangerous. Unfortunately, someone else is getting to work on Operation: Make Fizzbee Look Bad. Agent Fleur De Vious, the one and only spy in the Alien Intelligence Agency, believes Earth should be alien-free.
After she receives a request from Fizzbee's family to visit her, she decides enough is enough β she's going to find evidence of Fizzbee's wrongdoings and have her evicted once and for all. Will Scooter be able to stop her in time?

About the Author
Chrissie Sains grew up in Billericay, Essex, where she spent her childhood seeking adventure and finding trouble. Described by her teachers as having a βlively imaginationβ, Chrissie's escapades include her attempted rescue of the school's pet fish and the discovery of a dead body in a field that turned out to be two tyres under a sheet. She has swum with sharks, scuba-dived shipwrecks and sky-dived from a plane. Chrissie has a background in marketing and events but now writes full time and is a graduate of the Golden Egg Academy and a member of SCBWI. Along with the Jam Factory books, she is the co-author of I Got This, with Cara Mailey.
Jenny Taylor is an illustrator and graphic designer. Drawing stories since 1997, when she first discovered what pencils and paints could really do, she finally achieved her childhood dream with these books about aliens and jam. When not drawing, Jenny enjoys long walks in the shade with her ginger companion, βattemptingβ new and complicated recipes or watching her favourite animated movies. You can find more of Jennyβs work at www.jennytaylordesign.com and on Instagram @jennytaylordraws
