LoveReading4Kids Says
April 2012 Book of the Month A boy, an alien and football - without any shadow of doubt it's a match made in heaven for boys in particular and if you have a reluctant reader in the house aged from 6-9 then you just might get him or her reading as a result of EEEK! Apart from the storyline being a real page-turner it's also laugh-out-loud funny. Just how and why a football mad alien turns up on Charlie's doorstep one day and stays with him will have you in stitches. Eeek may be fluorescent green with smoke coming out of his ears but just like ET he's a wonderfully loveable alien, but this time for the 21st century.
By Theo Barker - aged 7: I loved the football in this book and I also loved the alien because he was so funny. The alien is just like a human boy apart from being tidy because he loves football and gets very excited when he is watching the matches. He is very good at hiding himself so only a few people know that there is an alien. The book is very funny and mummy was even laughing when she was reading it and we were all shocked by the surprise at the end. I will definitely tell my friends about this book - it is great.
If you've enjoyed Eeek, then check out the author's other story for 7+ year olds called The Secret Lake.

Eeek! The Runaway Alien Synopsis
A boy, a runaway alien and football. Laugh-out-loud funny for ages 7-10! (And with an hilarious twist!) From the international bestselling author of The Secret Lake.
When 11-year-old Charlie Spruit finds an alien on his doorstep one morning, he can hardly believe his luck. Who is he? Why has he come?
Charlie soon discovers that his new friend Eeek! is soccer-mad and has run away from space to watch the World Cup Final with him.
Charlie hides Eeek! in his bedroom, where he sleeps on the ceiling by night and pores over Charlie's football magazines by day. The only person he shares his alien secret with is his best friend Jake.
But when nosy classmate Sid Spiker, who lives next door, spots Eeek! through his telescope things start to fall apart - big time! Sid has his own plans for this glowing green alien, which bring surprises no one could have imagined...
This fun and fast-paced adventure story, with black and white illustrations throughout, has kids (and adults!) laughing out loud from start to finish, and gasping at the hilarious twist! A perfect match for girls and boys aged 7-10 who love soccer, aliens and/or humour!
