Spike and Carty had a dream: they wished to live in space! Each night they'd sit and gaze upon their very favourite place.
When an alien shows up at their window one night, Spike and Carty leap at the chance to escape boring old Earth and blast off on a rocket ride around the solar system. From sizzling Venus to icy Neptune and the dusty red rocks of Mars, they search high and low for the perfect new home. But maybe the best planet of all isn't so far away after all...
Full of laugh-out-loud rhymes, wild illustrations and surprising space facts, this is the first book in an out-of-this-world new series from Konnie Huq and Nathan Reed. Get ready for big adventures, big laughs - and a friendship that's only just beginning!
