The Little Alien and the Fire

While the galaxy was still young, a great civilisation rose and fell. Five thousand years have now passed since it was destroyed, and only a handful of elderly citizens still survive – two dozen elders and one child. As he plays in the ruins of his ancestors’ mightiest city, the Little Alien has no idea how much hope these elders have placed in him. Soon, however, the secrets of the past will be revealed, and he will accept a vital mission. Together with Squidge, his best and only friend, the Little Alien will embark on an epic adventure that will take him to the very edge of the galaxy. Will he have the wisdom to discover the power that sleeps within him? Will he have the strength to wield it? The adventure begins in this, the first book of The Little Alien trilogy.
There will be enemies and allies. Unstoppable terrors and unimaginable wonders will be uncovered as the history of a long-dead civilisation comes to life. The Little Alien seems an unlikely hero, set against events of galactic proportions, but there is more to him than meets the eye. Even he cannot imagine the incredible skills that lie, waiting to be discovered, in the depths of his mind.
This chapter book is aimed at children aged 8-12, but will be enjoyed by children (and adults) of any age.
