The stunning new 10+ story from the bestselling and award-winning author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER, for anyone who loved the humour of WALL-E, the action of STAR WARS and the deeply touching emotion of ET. A small village in the wilds of Northumberland is rocked by the disappearance of twelve-year-old Tammy. Only her twin brother, Ethan, knows she is safe – and the extraordinary truth of where she is. It is a secret he must keep, or risk never seeing her again. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to give up. Together with his friend Iggy and the mysterious (and very hairy) Hellyann, Ethan teams up with a spaceship called Philip, and Suzy the trained chicken, for a nail-biting chase to get his sister back… that will take him further than anyone has ever been before. A remarkable story of sibling connection, friendship and interstellar adventure from the author Kiran Millwood Hargrave called “one of my favourite middle grade writers”.

I like this book because it's about a girl who is from Earth and she met another girl who came from space, also its obviously a fiction book. My favourite character is Tammy (the girl who met the person from space) I would defo recommend it to those who like chapter books and fiction stories

I liked the book, it was interesting to read and I was glad to find out that Ethan found Tammy and they both escaped with Iggy and Hellyann from the Anthallans who captured Tammy. I would recommend this book for good readers and it is quite challenging read. It was a very good story.

I found this book very boring because it didn't keep me interested to find out the rest of the book. I much prefer the 1,000 year old boy.

Ross Welford has always and still is a brilliant author and this book is no less. A wacky yet believable story of aliens, police, close encounters and panicked escapes kept me on edge reading this. I'd definately recommend this to another person.

I liked this book because it was exciting. I found it interesting how they revealed the story a bit at a time. It was sad near the end but it had a good ending. I would recommend it to people who like action, sci-fi, funny stories, and emotional stories.

I really enjoyed the story, it was adventurous and my favourite character was Ethan because he was smart & brave. My favourite part was when they caused the fire. I would definitely recommend this book.

This probably one of my most favourite books now. It was about a group of aliens and humans working together to get captives out of jail.
Professor Bubbles Stegosaurus 20.08.2022
It was a good and funny book. My favourite character was Hellyan because of her weird behaviour and the way she talked. I would recommend it to year 4 and above.

~ A small village is rocked by the disappearance of Tamara (Tammy) Tait, 12. Only her twin brother, Ethan, knows she is safe - and the extraordinary truth of where she is. It is a secret he must keep, or risk never seeing her again. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to give up. Together with his friend Iggy and the mysterious (and very hairy) Hellyann, Ethan is about to go on a nail-biting chase to get his twin sister, his other half, back… that will take him further than anyone has ever been before. ~ This is a remarkable story of family, friendship, and interstellar adventure. This book I’d so good! This is only the second book that I’ve read by Ross Welford, and even though I’ve only been reading his books for the past week I’m in love! He’s an amazing author, he really is! I picked this book up at the library as it’s in the theme of the Summer Reading Challenge 2022 (the gadgeteers), and so is Ross Welford’s other book, “Into the Sideways World”, that I’ve read 3 days ago, right before starting this book. I’d recommend it to anyone over 9 who’s a confident reader! It’s perfect to read right now and have it count towards your Summer Reading Challenge, since it is in the theme, but you can also read it at any other time too of course! If anyone’s wondering, this book has 375 pages and it took me 3 days to read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, and / or is interested in aliens, interstellar travel, different planets, and just Space in general! I’ve really fallen in love with Ross Welford’s books and will definitely read more of them! Happy reading! Xx

It left me on cliffhangers and was a good book to read. I loved the interesting characters and their personalitys that I can relate to.
Madam Angel Hedgehog 07.07.2022
I hated this book because it wasn't moving. They kept on lagging around the fact that Tammy (a 12-year old) went missing.I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
Viscountess Diamond Tinkle 15.01.2022
I liked this book because it was very exciting and you never knew what would happen next. My favourite character was Tammy because he always kept having close calls with the people who were chasing them. I would recommend this book because it never got boring!
