Daredevil frog Croaky and his friends are back in another hilarious and ultra-accessible cartoon-style adventure for new readers, this time taking them on an alien hunt deep into (and over) UFO hotspot Crater Canyon.

Waggle Scout leader Winston the Puffin is on the look out for alien activity so when an albeit small spaceship crashes into his garden, he’s ready. He pauses only to don a tinfoil hat before taking it to his UFO expert friend in Crater Canyon. Of course, Waggle Scouts Croaky and Sheena accompany him, Sheena decidedly more sceptical about the existence of aliens.

Their adventure is full of ups (hot air balloon) and downs (snake pit – eek) and there are surprises all round. Newly independent readers are spoiled for choice at the moment when it comes to silly-funny, highly illustrated action-packed chapter books and Croaky and co are up there with the Super Happy Magic Forest stars and Peng and Spanners as the perfect gateway to a lifetime love of reading.

I wanted to read it again straight away because I really enjoyed the story.

I love this book because I loved the space spinners. I love the frog called Croaky because he is silly. I want to read more books by Matty Long now. I like the colourful pages!... Read Full Review

A new fast paced, action packed adventure for fans of Croaky and friends. Can they work together, keep each other safe AND solve the mystery?

In this latest adventure in the Croaky series, readers are treated to a fast-paced, action packed, out-of-this-world story as Croaky and his friends try to locate a UFO. But all is not as it seems and they must work together to both look after each other and solve the mystery. The combination of colourful, entertaining images on every page and an enticing story makes this book ideal for readers starting to develop their confidence with more challenging texts. The author doesn't shy away from introducing more complex vocabulary which both enriches the story and extends the reader. This book is also excellent for reading both to and with your child, with the text being presented in different ways such as speech bubbles on some pages, offering opportunities for shared reading....
