The Day That Aliens (Nearly) Ate Our Brains
Tom McLaughlin
A laugh-a-minute, action-packed alien adventure perfect for fans of Pamela Butchart and Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Best friends Freddy and Sal have accidentally intercepted a message from Alan – a spectacularly grumpy, brain-munching alien from outer space. Alan has only one message. Earth is going to be invaded in exactly ten hours’ time. Soon the police, Nasa and even Presidents from around the world are getting involved – and Freddy is about to become the most famous kid on planet earth for all the wrong reasons. Wolverhampton, we have a problem.

The aliens were only 2 inches tall!

A extremely funny book about two children ( Freddie and Sam ) who get into touch with aliens many lightyears away... no, not the good aliens though. They want to EAT HUMAN BRAINS!

It is my type of book because I like aliens .
Commander Chip Waltzer 10.09.2022

Good but there wasn't even aliens in the book. There is a big alien on the front, but the ones in the story are tiny and they leave again immediately after trying to destroy human kind and gravity!

Everybody is scared that an alien will come and eat their brains but when he lands hes only 2 inches tall. Funny book.

This is more for younger readers but the story and characters are pretty good and it gives off a good message that we should stop fighting each other and focus on bigger threats like global warming and Aliens that might want to eat our brains! I recommend this to future prime minsters and presidents and people into aliens.

Sal is hilariously dim-witted.

Very surprising ending, involves a lot of important people. Funny and very good.

Why do most aliens have to be evil? This alien wants to eat humanity's brains. After a long time they come and apparently they're tiny. the end bit is just a laugh but most of it is quite boring. At least there is suspense...a little bit

I thought that it was very funny but also at some times a bit scary. My favourite parts of it were the Russian President Vladimir, the fact that the aliens were tiny and that the fish really did talk at the end of the book.

At first i didn't enjoy this book but i kept reading and ended up enjoying it. I gave it 5 stars because it was really funny at the end.
