A fresh and funny new voice, Alice Primmer is a writer and children’s book editor who's worked on a wide range of books including Greg Jenner's bestselling You Are History. Alice has been writing stories since she was six years old, and the quality has improved a little now she no longer uses felt tips. She studied English Literature and Old Norse (don’t ask) at the University of York, and lives in Leighton Buzzard, a place that sounds made-up but she’s almost certain is real. When she’s not writing, she can be found learning Spanish badly or watching Doctor Who expertly. Fred Blunt is an award-winning illustrator who makes humour his top priority in his drawing. Right from early (rather unflattering) portraits of teachers, he wanted to entertain with his work. Fred has illustrated (and written) dozens of picture books and this is his first project with Walker. He lives in Wales.
With Primmer’s stories taking a salutary and satirical look at Earth and the behaviour of its humans through the eyes of an extra-terrestrial, and the comical artwork of award-winning illustrator Blunt putting words into pictures, these wonderfully chaotic capers are in-and-out-of-this-world winners! -- Pam Norfolk * The Lancashire Post *
