The Cosmic Atlas of Alfie Fleet
Martin Howard (, Lot-et-Garonne, France), Chris Mould (, West Yorkshire, UK)
Bored of the same old routine? Longing for a bit of adventure in your life? Love living life on the edge? Then join Alfie Fleet and discover a whole universe of wonders (and things that are not so wonderful too, but we won't go into that now). From giant sand lobsters on planet Maureen and the Twang Bears of Mumsy, to the eerie (yet oddly quite boring) brains in jars on Brains-in-Jars World - there is something for everyone. And if danger's your thing you won't want to miss Outlandish, with its gold-hoarding dragon, take-your-life-in-your-hands cuisine, and welcoming locals who'll fire lightning bolts at you. Thrills and adventure await, just hop on board the slightly old and rusty moped of infinity! More than funny fiction - this story does for travel guides and maps what Wimpy Kid did for diaries and Tom Gates did for doodle books. With amazing illustrations by Chris Mould throughout, this book is a visual feast and will appeal to readers everywhere.

This is about a boy called Alfie Fleet who is really poor. He really wants to buy his mum a foot massager so he finds a job so he can earn money to buy one. He travels the universe for his job. Its really funny and I'd recommend it.

I loved this book soooo much because it is so funny. The dragon farts itself to death which is the best part. There is now a second book called Alfie Fleet's guide to the universe with all the action and even more thrills and chills. My favourite character is the Hunter-of-the-vicious-spiny-Dereco-beast, also known as Derek.

This amazing story is based on a mere boy Alfie Fleet who is very poor and then he joins Professor Bowell-Mouvemont to an adventure to Outlandish. But then they lose their stone gate (time machine)! Do you think Alfie and the professor can reach to a stone gate and come back home? This book is one of my favourite books and is a must-read. Spectacularly humorous and so amazingly adventurous! This book is so funny starting from the Professors name- Professor Bowell- Mouvemont. The main characters are- Alfie,the professor,Derek(a girl),Sir Brenda(also a lady) and prince hoodwink. I loved this book so much and enjoyed it so much. i would love to recommend this book to all the fans of time travel and adventures.

More of a story than an atlas(in case you were thinking). i got confused for a while in the end. you"ll laugh, be surprised, and you'll like it. Alfie is really amazing. if he wasn't there. I'd like to go to the Unusual Travel Agency.

A great book!! I liked Alfie the best because he is kind and courageous. This book is all about the adventures he has with Professor Bowell-Mouvemont who is a member of the unusual cartography club.They visit many weird places like the brains in jars world and Outlandish.

I would reccomend this action-packed fantasy story for all ages and especially people who love stories to do with the universe and far away worlds. Throughout the thirty chapters, you will meet Alfie Fleet (the hero of the story), Hunter-Of-The-Vicious-Spiny-Dereko-Beast (AKA Derek), Professor Pewsley Bowell-Mouvemount (the crazy professor is the leader of the Unusual Cartography Club), Sir Brenda of Verminium (Outlandish's greatest hero), Prince Hoodwink (he's extremely annoying and a real prince, now a supermodel) and, Gerald Teethcrusher (the Unusual Travel Agency's cheif restaurant critic and the guide to the latest fashions in leather pants). Travel with The Circle of the Circle (the Professor, Alfie, Derek and, Sir Brenda) across Outlandish to complete the long, dangerous quest of finding a Stone Circle to travel through and return to planet Earth. But, what will the daring foursome discover at the burning city of Verminium? Also, never go to Thank Goodness It's Beachcrushers because, it is a falling down shack and doesn't offer any hospitality throughout the chain of Gerald Teethcrusher's 'hotels' and your bed is garaunteed to be full of crabs. I would also advise you, not to go to Thank Goodness It's Bottomcrusher's because it was so atrocious I can't describe it (this is also another 'hotel' in Gerald's collection). And, last but very much least, The Dead Crow is not a child friendly place and an anti-grownup zone never come here you are garaunteed to get fleas or have your hed ripped off (the origanal of Gerald's chain of 'hotels').

I enjoy fantasy,but not too much fantasy,which is why this was the book for me.I highly recommend it to those who love/like teleporting and other worlds.11 out of 10.I liked Derek (female.Don't ask!) the best because she is kind but threatening everyone
