Review

Light-hearted and profound (Sunday Times Book of the Week, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

Full of heart and emotion that might just bring a tear to your eye. If it doesn’t though it’s still got lightsabers and alien space dogs. (Tom Fletcher, Tom Fletcher Book Club, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

Wholly original and exceptionally funny (The Bookseller Book of the Month, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

a spiky, effervescent treat, like Spielberg’s ET put in a blender with a bottle of Irn-Bru. (The Financial Times, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

A touching tale . . . told with wild humour and panache (Telegraph, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

A wonderful and exciting story about friendship and appreciating what you have. (Independent Independent, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)

whimsical, heart-wrenching and hilarious. (Scotsman, on Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth)
