SHORTLISTED: 2025 Best Designed Children's Fiction Book, Australian Book Design Awards
SHORTLISTED: 2025 Readings Children's Prize
SHORTLISTED: 2025 Readings Children's Prize
With a whispery hiss, the spaceship touched down on the grass. A door opened. A ramp extended. An alien slid forward. 'TAKE. ME. TO. YOUR. LEADER.'
Alex wants to win the National Young Cartoonist Competition. She's got the talent, but what should she draw? Along comes Hi, an alien from the Planet Wendy. Hi is also working on a project: he has three days to learn about Earth's leaders for his Earth Studies class. Maybe they could help each other?
Soon, Hi's Earthly visit sets in motion a chain of extraordinary events, including a viral TikTok, a shoe-shop haunting and an astronomically wild rock concert.
A cosmically funny story about leaders, followers and friendships that are out of this world.
'A fabulously fun and quirky, out-of-this-world adventure that bubbles with imagination and pops with puns!' – Eva Amores and Matt Cosgrove, bestselling creators of The Worst Week series
'A wonderfully wacky sci-fi/comedy that will appeal to readers of Nat Amoore.' – Books + Publishing
