Overview:
Space Band is a laugh-out-loud, out-of-this-world adventure from number-one bestselling author Tom Fletcher. George, Neila and Bash are the worst band on Earth, but when they're accidentally beamed into space mid-performance, they're thrown into an intergalactic Battle of the Bands. Packed with humour, heart and a genuine music soundtrack to scan and listen to, this hardback is perfect for confident readers aged 7-11 who love funny, fast-paced stories with a cosmic twist.

About the Book:
George, Neila and Bash are determined to win their school's Battle of the Bands, despite George's perfectionism, Neila's stage fright and Bash's habit of daydreaming about aliens. The moment they step on stage and start to play, a mysterious beam sweeps them away and out into space. Suddenly the stakes are higher than a school trophy: the trio must compete in an intergalactic Battle of the Bands against wildly inventive alien musicians, with their journey home riding on the outcome. Tom Fletcher, co-founder of Brit Award-winning band McFly, brings genuine musical knowledge and comic timing to a story that's as much about friendship and self-belief as it is about laser guitars and alien roadies. Readers can scan QR codes throughout the book to listen to original Space Band tracks performed by McFly, adding interactive fun rarely found in children's fiction. Beneath the jokes and cosmic chaos, the story carries a warm message about embracing what makes you different and discovering that ordinary kids can do extraordinary things together. It rewards both quick, giggly reading sessions and slower shared bedtime chapters, and its blend of adventure, music and gentle life lessons has made it a favourite with reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike.
