"This touching story of changes, new beginnings and dealing with difference is ideal for sharing with young children facing new experiences or beginning a new school year." Booktrust "The combination of everyday things with which all kids are familiar ... and the excitement of life in space make this a fascinating and enjoyable series, which also carries a strong message about the importance of families and the reassurance they give." Parents in Touch "a fun adventure with quirky black and white illustrations which add to the wonderful descriptions of the attractive alien world with geometric shaped buildings and people of every colour from green to purple. I am sure there will be more adventures of Spike and Ali to be enjoyed." -- Carousel Carousel magazine
