Eeek!: The runaway alien - Softcover

A boy, an alien and World Cup football. A match made in heaven for soccer fans aged 7-10. Laugh-out-loud funny!

A firm favourite at school visits - black and white illustrations throughout

Eleven-year-old Charlie Spruit can't believe his luck when he opens his door to an alien one morning. Who is he? Why has he come? Charlie soon discovers that this alien has run away from space to Earth to be with him because he's soccer mad and the World Cup is on...!

'Eeek,' as Charlie decides to call him, takes up secret residence in Charlie's bedroom where he sleeps on the ceiling by night and pores over Charlie's football magazines and stickers by day. All is going surprisingly well until slimy sci-fi mad Sid Spiker, who lives out the back, spots Eeek through his telescope. Sid has his own plans for this alien, which bring surprises that no-one could have imagined...

Praise for Eeek!

Eeek! has been praised by teachers, librarians, reading charities and parents as a great book for boys in particular, including reluctant readers, and several UK schools have adopted it for Year 3 class readers or children’s books clubs. Girls who enjoy football love it too. In fact, one London primary school book club voted it favourite book club read three years in a row - with girls making up half of the votes! It has also been used in the 'Get London Reading' campaign.

If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced story for children ages 7-10 that combines humour, adventure, aliens and sport, you're in the right place!
