Finley Swinnerton is probably not the kind of person you’d chose to have on your side in a fight.
Until the events recounted in this story, the most dangerous things he’s ever done are staying up until midnight (on holiday) and gargling ‘Jingle Bells’ with milk.
He’s not brave either and in fact sending him out against the aliens that have invaded his school is like sending a chocolate bar to put out a fire. But Finley is smart (particularly in science), organised (he loves a list), loyal and, we discover, capable of extraordinary things. No matter what the aliens throw at him – purple gunk, bubbling slime, freezing green snot – he finds a way round it and saves the day.
Written by comedian Steve Williams, this out of this world adventure is as funny as you’d expect, but also exciting and even a little bit inspirational – if Finley can take on an alien horde, who’s to say what the rest of us can achieve too?
