About this listen

Go back to the Space Race with No.1 bestselling author David Walliams for a breathless cinematic adventure full of mystery, action, laughs and surprises – and a secret that could change the course of history…

America. The 1960s.

Stuck on a remote farm with her awful aunt, twelve-year-old orphan Ruth spends every night gazing at the stars, dreaming of adventure.

One night she spots a flying saucer blazing across the sky… before crash-landing in a field. When the spaceship opens and reveals a mysterious alien, all Ruth’s dreams come true.

But does this visitor from another planet have a giant secret?

Spaceboy is a hilarious and action-packed tale for readers in any solar system.

David Walliams was most recently Children’s #1 bestseller with The World's Worst Pets (TCM chart: 30 April 2022)

It was a nice imaginative book, with a good story.
I think it could have had a better ending and a few more destinations where they go to during the story.
I recommend this to people who like space and 8+.
I chose my rating as it was one of the best but not the best.

Emily says: It was very exciting. I liked learning about space. I also liked the voices.
I say: As with many David Williams books, the adult characters are deeply flawed and the kids show the adults hope to be better people!!! This book is set in the 1950s America and this really gets your imagination working. The narration is great and the actors bring the characters to life.

Exciting

AMAZING BOOK (spoiler)

Well I liked most of it but it could have been somewhat better. David Walliams needs make a 2nd book. But does not compare to the classics: gangster granny, the great escape, etc.

The adventure!!!
