SynopsisAn absolute delight of a madcap story for the young (and young-at-heart) by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, with equal parts pirates and piranhas, adventure and aliens, oddity and love. "I bought the milk," said my father. "I walked out of the corner shop, and heard a noise like this: t h u m m t h u m m. I looked up and saw a huge silver disc hovering in the air above Marshall Road." "Hullo," I said to myself. "That's not something you see every day. And then something odd happened." Find out just how odd things get in this hilarious story of time travel and breakfast cereal, expertly told by Newbery Medalist and bestselling author Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young.

  • Book was in great condition. No problem...

    Book was in great condition. No problems. My only gripe is my fault. Gaiman is one of my favorite authors, but this looks to be a children's book. Also very thin. So I'll read this one at home.

  • Grandson's request.

    My Grandson was reading this book during "WIN Reading Group". He liked it so much that he wanted his own copy for home. I ordered it, and he has reread it when he spent a weekend with us. I'm sure it will be read again.
