What to expect
A brilliantly funny story of what happens when a galactic princess moves in next door and almost brings about the end of the world. Exciting new fiction from the bestselling, award-winning author of My Brother is a Superhero, read by the super-hilarious Joe Thomas (The Inbetweeners).
Gavin's got a new neighbour and she's really annoying. Niki follows him everywhere, bosses him about, and doesn't care that her parents will obliterate Earth with their galactic warships if she doesn't stop running away from them. Can Niki and Gavin sort out the alien despots (aka Mum and Dad) and save the planet? Possibly. Will they become friends along the way? Doubtful...
Critics Review
David Solomons’ My Brother is a Superhero! soon became a reader and industry favourite on publication in 2015, and his new novel is just as warm and hilarious as his début. Gavin is an ordinary boy going about his life at school when Niki, an overconfident “fruitcake with extra crazy currants”, comes into his life. It turns out that Niki is in fact an alien princess fleeing from her warring parents. Can Gavin help her and stop the destruction of planet Earth?’
Attention Earthlings! David Solomons has arrived to give you A Beginner’s Guide to Ruling the Galaxy (Nosy Crow). This out-of-this-world adventure stars a new girl in school who could be from another planet and talking cat – both of which have come to rock Gavin’s universe. Get ready to laugh your astro socks off!’
