Synopsis

An engaging, well-written, humorous story about a perennially popular subject. James and the Alien Experiment is a comedy about a boy who is kidnapped by aliens. They're quite well-meaning aliens though, who want to improve his rather useless human body - which proves not to be entirely a bad thing (just mostly a bad thing). Ross is given super-strength, super-brains and super-speed and in the end he succeeds in sorting out his truly loathsome form teacher.

Media Reviews
KS2 boys in particular will enjoy this tale which is short enough and sufficiently fast-moving to hold their attention School Library Association (Spring 2006) I enjoyed reading it because it's a fast-moving, action-packed book about the strangest things ever.
