"Imagine My Step Parents are Aliens colliding with The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole ... This funny tale, underscored with some cracking cartoons is a great laugh, especially for those with typically schoolboy humour." --Carousel, March 2011
"The humour is well balanced, infectiously funny, and more importantly relevant. ... Dear teacher or librarian ... put this book in a prominent position on the shelf ... It is like reading a child's version of Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" and anyone reading it will be affected by it - on some level. It might even open their mind..." --Just Imagine Story Centre, July 2011

Product Description
Flowkwee is on a mission - he has to disguise himself as a schoolboy and spy on young earthlings, in order to help his father with his research. Here are his letters to his best friend, in which he tells him all about his adventures. He describes the strange earthlings who have only one head, two peepers, and no aerials, lights, whirlers or even winkers! He has to wear things called clothes because the earthlings can't be bothered to grow fur. And he discovers the fool-proof way to catch earthlings is to tell them to follow a sign saying `Free ice cream!' Shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2011!
