(25th Anniversary of first book - to be re-released soon)
Summary
The book that started it all.
Fizz is the hilarious and sometimes scary story of an alien boy who is thrown out of every school in the galaxy and so must come to school on Earth (Fizz calls Earth ‘Dust’).
To try to explain Earth and its weird aliens (humans) to all his friends across the galaxy, Fizz sends them outerspace postcards written in his own slang language, like this one:
From: Fizz
Planet Dust
To: Krastus Krastalin Jr.
Planet Epsolon
Guess what scuttlebuddy, some critto’s written a scribbly about my time on Planet Dust. Will you read it and tell me if its bopbop or wackily?
Hook you later,
Fizz
