Zartog is a little alien with enormous eyes and no nose. Rachel is a little girl also with enormous eyes. But she has got a nose and she is also being bullied by some very unsavoury types at school. Between them Zartog and Rachel muddle up their remote controls: Zartog finds himself with a TV remote and Rachel finds herself with a remote control that changes things around! When Rachel realises the power of Zartog's remote she has a great time ensuring that the bullies clean up their act and become beautifully behaved boys. A wonderful, funny and uplifting story about the usual and unusual lives of two endearing characters written by the very talented Herbie Brennan and illustrated throughout in black and white illustrations by Neal Layton.
