The inhabitants of planet Harmony are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Alien Federation so they can witness the signing of the promised peace treaty. But Zallie and her little brother Dessie find themselves herded aboard the alien space ship, and they realise that the Hooters might not come in peace as was expected. What follows is an adventure for young, confident readers who expect roller-coaster drama on every page of their book. Capture by Aliens is sensitively written and incorporates edge-of-seat thrills with wry observation on the nature of humanity, all wrapped up in a deceptively simple package that will enthral any child. Ideal for confident read-aloners, and equally as ideal for reluctant readers who are looking for something to capture their imagination, Capture by Aliens is a fantastic book with a real twist in the tale.
