Interest Age 9-11 Reading Age 8 | January 2023 Book of the Month
Bertie is not looking forward to spending the summer with Uncle Brian on Long Bottom Farm, but it turns out to be much more exciting than he could have expected when he makes friends with chicken Nugget (geddit?), actually a disguised alien from planet Nurgle-7.
Nugget needs Bertie’s help to get him back home, but planet Earth needs Bertie’s help to avert the Nurgle plans for mass destruction of our planet. It all comes down to Bertie identifying Earth’s most valuable resource. The outcome is surprising for everyone and eye-opening for Bertie and Nugget.
Jenny Pearson writes some of the funniest books around and has the ability too to make them as touching and thought-provoking as they are humorous. Published by Barrington Stoke, and therefore accessible to all readers, this is heart-warming, perceptive and guaranteed to have all readers laughing aloud.
