The day before
their 10th birthday, Cooper’s twin sister Molly, who has always
bugged him, tells him she is actually an alien and is going to protect him as
he has special powers and is going to save the universe. Wot?
Of course Cooper doesn’t believe her but then the
intergalactic bounty hunters arrive on earth and it seems there may be some
truth in it all. This is a funny story with enough twists and turns in the plot
and a lot of fantasy thrown in to please most 7 to 10 year olds -- especially those who have enjoyed
Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett’s titles for younger readers or (going back a bit
but still very readable) Eleanor Estes.
Year 3 up/ Age 7 up
