About the book

About Earth Boy

Alfie runs away from his father, who bullies him because he won’t take off his new rainbow socks or his mother’s nightie – it is all he has left of her. His desperation to escape leads him to a desolate train station and a Kate Bush wannabe called Daphne. She drags him onto a train that shouldn’t be there, transporting them to an unearthly destination, The Caravansary, a pit-stop to the wider universe. He is stranded in a strange world where inhabitants want to enslave, possess and even fatten him up. His only saviour is a bewitching hottie called Charisma Junt who looks good in everything he wears. Alfie soon becomes embroiled in a fiendish plot that could have dire consequences for humanity. How can an underachieving daydreamer, who spends far too much time in his own head, stop environmental terrorists and a psychotic real estate agent?
