Product Information

He took up swimming in his youth because he was overweight, and has subsequently completed long distance swims of the English Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar and the River Thames, raising millions of pounds for charity! And it seems David is quite behind on gender stereotypes as there's always some cobblers about boys doing one thing and girls doing another or so-and-so looking/acting like a girl etc. I enjoyed the spaceboy my favourite bit was when Ruth sed to ant Dorothy don,t be a dork and the best bit was when they where in the space ship and Kevin sed the countdown and it was very funny when Yuri the dog bit Kevin,s Grampa in the bum and another funny bit when the president of USA hit the golf ball at the major majors back of his head and then hi was nocked out and then fell on all his batches on the floor then it was funny when I saw the president hi was ferry little The president and then there was a slave who was as taller then the president. He also jabs a punch of humour on the state of society, government and politics which makes you double over with laughter. David Walliams, the mastermind behind numerous beloved children's books, takes young readers on an intergalactic journey with his latest masterpiece, "Spaceboy.

It's always the same with the whole flying saucer crashing in a cornfield- But I don't get why the whole twist was added: to me, it just ruined the whole story.He has gone on to take the children’s literary world by storm, dominating sales charts and twice winning the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year.

A helter skelter chase follows on ostrich back and more with all of Walliam’s sound effects decorating the text.

This is a blend of lots of slapstick comedy, a sprinkle of history and lots of action and it is sure to have young readers laughing their heads off. At times I felt like I was reading Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, but Walliams definitely has his own signature on his work and Dahl, while clearly a strong influence, is not channelled. David Walliams is a literary phenomenon whose books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and have been translated into fifty-five languages. During the very time that the two superpowers, America, and Russia, were involved in the race for space, a twelve-year-old orphan girl, Ruth, was living with her aunt on an ostrich farm. However, when the soldier announces that they are flying to meet the President, the situation seems to be getting out of control.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Ruth’s world is turned upside down when a flying saucer crash lands on the farm, and she meets Spaceboy, the mysterious occupant of the exotic vessel. As soon as Ruth rescues Spaceboy from the flaming flying saucer, helicopters piloted by faceless figures fly above the farm, trying to catch the alien. In 2008 David’s first children’s book The Boy in the Dress was published, illustrated by Quentin Blake.
