Alien Grimstink has travelled ninety thousand light years to annihilate all life on Earth.
13-year-old Layla Tenby has travelled half a mile to deliver leaflets for affordable fence panels.
But, when they swap places, Grimstink finds himself battling traffic wardens and the Subway sandwich ordering system, while Layla is zapped to a strange planet and left fighting for the future of the galaxy whether she wants to or not (spoiler: she does not want to). Is Reece, Layla’s annoying younger brother, key to the galaxy’s survival, or will his friendship with new bestie Grimstink lead them all to impending doom?
From black holes to shopping precincts; from mining satellites to old people’s homes; from quantum spaceships to the middle aisle of Aldi. Is this the end of all life on planet Earth…
…or the beginning of a beautiful friendship?
Praise for the book

‘A gloriously daft toddler odyssey, with an unforgettable protagonist, a bone-dry comic voice, and a memorable escape on a mobility scooter.’ Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian
‘Hilarious and thrilling. Best comedy thriller for kids I’ve ever read.’ Ben Ward, Head writer of CBBC’s Danger Mouse and Horrible Histories
‘Reminiscent of Boss Baby, Rita’s story hooked me from the very start. Little Horror is an original, funny, fast-paced adventure that kids will love.’ Jen Carney, author of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G.
