The Earth has been sold. What could possibly go wrong?
SHORTLISTED for The Selfies Fiction Award
FINALIST, Page Turner Awards
The location: London.
The date: Sooner than any of us want.
Beset by multiple crises and buried under a growing mountain of debt, the leaders of the G7 have taken the only logical decision.
They’ve sold the planet.
When Toby, a penniless student, and his two new flatmates find out one morning on TV, they're surprised to find the Earth’s new alien owners are staggeringly cute and bring the promise of a debt-free future. They're just getting ready to celebrate along with the rest of the world, when a chance encounter with a mysterious professor reveals the truth. And there’s a glitch: the Earth is about to be destroyed.
Fresh, fun and fast-paced, How to Buy a Planet is the unforgettable tale of three students on an impossible quest to beat the system. Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, or sci-fi hero, Doctor Who.
