Eeek! The Runaway Alien

A boy, a runaway alien and the World Cup. Laugh-out-loud listening for ages 7–10! Finalist in the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards. From the international bestselling author of The Secret Lake.

When 11-year-old Charlie Spruit finds an alien on his doorstep one morning, he can hardly believe his luck. Who is he? Why has he come?

Charlie soon discovers that his new friend, Eeek!, is football-mad and has run away from space to watch the World Cup Final.

Charlie hides Eeek! in his bedroom, where he sleeps on the ceiling by night and pores over Charlie’s football magazines by day. The only person Charlie lets in on the secret is his best friend, Jake.

But when nosy classmate Sid Spiker spots Eeek! through his telescope, things start to fall apart—big time! Sid has his own plans for this glowing green alien, bringing surprises that no one could have imagined...

Fast-paced, funny and full of adventure, Eeek! The Runaway Alien is a perfect audiobook for girls and boys who enjoy aliens, friendship, football, soccer and World Cup excitement. Young listeners will love Ciaran Saward’s lively, characterful narration.

Praise for Eeek!
