The World's Worst Alien
Age 9+
School Stories
Hilarious observational humour and witty social commentary combine in this debut comedy of an alien reluctantly coming to Earth to "fix" the mess that humans have made of her school project.
When alien "Sky" creates planet Earth as part of a school project, she's delighted by her success. Those dinosaurs roaming about the place are top-mark material! Then humans sweep in and it's farewell dinosaurs, hello destruction. This disappointing evolutionary twist calls for drastic measures: Sky, the laziest student in class, is going to have make an effort, go down to Earth and fix humanity...

Alice studied English Literature and Old Norse (don’t ask) at the University of York, and lives in Leighton Buzzard, a place that sounds made-up but she’s almost certain is real.
