About this listen

Spaceboy, from Children's author David Walliams.

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?

I love it because everything happens at once but not to fast so it’s very exciting.I can’t stop listening to it.It gets very tense all the way through .

Amazingly addictive

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.
