About the Books
Each title in this collection showcases Frank Cottrell Boyce's gift for blending everyday family life with extraordinary adventure. In Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth, quiet foster child Prez is joined by a loud, mysterious stranger who claims to be an alien sent to save the planet. Millions follows brothers Damian and Anthony as a bag of stolen cash lands at their feet just before Britain switches to the Euro, forcing them to decide how to spend a fortune before it becomes worthless. Cosmic sees super-tall eleven-year-old Liam pass himself off as an adult to win a place on a once-in-a-lifetime space mission. The Astounding Broccoli Boy follows meticulously prepared Rory Rooney as he inexplicably turns green overnight and must navigate a hospital ward of equally unusual patients. Finally, Framed takes readers to a remote Welsh village where young Dylan, keeper of the local petrol log, uncovers a mysterious convoy hiding a very unusual secret. Together these five stories combine comedy, heart, and adventure in a way that has made Frank Cottrell Boyce one of Britain's most loved children's authors, with several titles adapted for film and screen.
