Go back to the Space Race with No.1 bestselling author David Walliams for a breathless cinematic adventure full of mystery, action, laughs and surprises – and a secret that could change the course of history…
America. The 1960s. Stuck on a remote farm with her awful aunt, twelve-year-old orphan Ruth spends every night gazing at the stars, dreaming of adventure. One night she spots a flying saucer blazing across the sky… before crash-landing in a field. When the spaceship opens and reveals a mysterious alien, all Ruth’s dreams come true. But does this visitor from another planet have a giant secret? Spaceboy is a hilarious and action-packed tale for readers in any solar system. David Walliams was most recently Children’s #1 bestseller with The World’s Worst Pets (TCM chart: 30 April 2022)Reviews

I really enjoyed this book. I like the use of onomatopoeia in this book. My favourite character is Ruth because she talks a lot like me.

I liked it because it had a silver alien but it wasn't an alien!
Inspector Stinky Desperado 21.12.2024
I really enjoyed this book because there was a crash in Ruth's garden. She discovered that a flying saucer crash landed. She has been living with her very rude and annoying aunt ever since her parents had died. But Ruth still has her three - legged dog to keep her company

General Snoopy Armadillo 29.08.2024
I loved the book because it was a bit mysterious at the start but it got a bit more into the space boy and then i realised space boy was not an alien but still at the end it was a great book.
King Dragon Pendragon 28.08.2024
This book was all about people thinking spaceboy was an alien but it turns out he's just a boy wearing a costume. It was a really funny read. My favourite part was towards the end when they blast down the adults and they all fell over.
Professor Octopus Sunshine 28.08.2024
This book is very funny and Spaceboy looks really cool because his outfit is kind of like armour. There’s a girl with a dog and the girl heard a noise and then she got out of bed, went outside and she saw something and I think it was a flying saucer!!
General Rose Eragon 27.08.2024
I liked it because Spaceboy and Ruth had to pretend Spaceboy was a alien but he actually wasn't, he was a boy named Kevin from the town next to Ruth. He built his own spaceship with metal and a tractor engine but he crashed into Aunt Dorothy's farm . When Aunt Dorothy found out about Spaceboy they had to make a run for it . They hopped on ostriches to escape and there a fast paced adventure! My favourite character's were Ruth, Spaceboy and Yuri. I would recommend this book, as it is fast-moving and fun, and lots of opportunities to speak in funny accents.
