Description
The second book in the super funny series featuring "Sky" the laziest alien to ever visit Earth.
Planet Earth failed to get Sky a passing grade in her school project, now Sky must figure out how to fix this mess AGAIN. If only humans would stop fighting wars all over the place!
There's only one thing for it: return to Oak Lane Primary School as an eleven-year-old girl and reunite with her human friends to stop all fighting with Sky's genius idea of winning. Which would be a lot easier if a disastrous cricket match and a declaration of war painted on the school fence hadn't just kicked off a battle with a rival school...

With Primmer's stories taking a salutary and satirical look at Earth and the behaviour of its humans through the eyes of an extra-terrestrial, and the comical artwork of award-winning illustrator Blunt putting words into pictures, these wonderfully chaotic capers are in-and-out-of-this-world winners! -- Pam Norfolk * The Lancashire Post * Alice Primmer gives playground politics an intergalactic twist in this hilarious series for 9+ year olds, while Fred Blunt's accessible and anarchic illustrations help to sharpen the comedy. -- Tom Tolkein * School Reading List * I can hear children and middle grade readers roaring with laughter when reading The World's Worst Alien Fights back. I highly recommend the two books in the series. As a huge fan of the talented Alice Primmer I'm hoping very much that there will be a third book in the series. * Bookread2day *More details

A fresh and funny new voice, Alice Primmer is a writer and children's book editor who's worked on a wide range of books including Greg Jenner's bestselling You Are History. Alice has been writing stories since she was six years old, and the quality has improved a little now she no longer uses felt tips. She studied English Literature and Old Norse (don't ask) at the University of York, and lives in Leighton Buzzard, a place that sounds made-up but she's almost certain is real. When she's not writing, she can be found learning Spanish badly or watching Doctor Who expertly.
Fred Blunt is an award-winning illustrator who makes humour his top priority in his drawing. Right from early (rather unflattering) portraits of teachers, he wanted to entertain with his work. Fred has illustrated (and written) dozens of picture books and this is his first project with Walker. He lives in Wales.
