Product description

From the moment that Jim and Charlie overhear their teachers speaking to each other in a secret language, they know that something is afoot. But what does ‘spudvetch’ mean? Why do Mr Kidd’s eyes flicker with fluorescent blue light when Charlie says it to him? Perhaps they’re bank robbers talking in code. Perhaps they’re spies. Perhaps they’re aliens… An adventure is on the way. A nuclear-powered, one-hundred-ton adventure with reclining seats and a buffet car. And as it gathers speed and begins to spin out of control, it can only end with a BOOM! An edge-of-your-seat, laugh-out-loud adventure that’s impossible to put down, from the celebrated author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

“A crackling little story.” The Bookbag

“An explosive adventure.” The Bookseller

I really liked this book, I thought it was going to be really childish when I looked at the cover but I was wrong, once I got reading I couldn’t stop! Really good book that I would certainly recommend!

I thought that this book was very unputdownable, although looking at the cover thought that it may be a little bit childish or predictabe, but it wasn’t! It captured me from the first to the very last page. Having read a previous book from Marc Haddon, I thought it was going to be along the same type of storyline, and having not really enjoyed the previous book I read, thought that I was going to hate this one…. But I didn’t :)

I really loved this book and would recommend it to all my friends. I give it 10/10 and a 5 star rating.
