About this eBook

An absolute delight of a madcap story for the young (and young-at-heart) by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, with equal parts pirates and piranhas, adventure and aliens, oddity and love.

"I bought the milk," said my father. "I walked out of the corner shop, and heard a noise like this: t h u m m t h u m m. I looked up and saw a huge silver disc hovering in the air above Marshall Road."

"Hullo," I said to myself. "That's not something you see every day. And then something odd happened."

Find out just how odd things get in this hilarious story of time travel and breakfast cereal, expertly told by Newbery Medalist and bestselling author Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young.

I went through all the title pages and dedications, and the whole book was literally two pages with two pictures and it said "you have finished your book..." I want my money back!

I love how Neil manages to capture the imagination with this simple yet intricate piece of storytelling. Am inspired to craft stories for my kids more now than ever. Brilliant.
