Description
Bonnie baby or alien invader? Everyone loves Spike's baby brother, Ali. He's so cute even the school bullies want to babysit him. But Spike isn't so sure. Ali's poos are bright green and his soft, brown skin looks a little scaly. Yes, there's definitely something strange about Ali! And when Spike discovers a way to learn the truth, he begins to realise just how different his family really is...
Reviews / Votes
"Now that's what I call a happy ending" -- Nicola Smyth Independent "With a fast moving narrative and unexpected plot twists, this is an ideal story to tempt reluctant readers. The illustrations are lively and humorous, the chapters short, with plenty of dialogue and an abundance of cliff hangers, and the dramatic conclusion leaves room for a sequel. Great fun" -- Claire Larson ReadPlus.comMore details
