Summary

Who said friends have to match to matter?

When the Star Boy’s space-pod crashes in the grounds of Fairfield Academy he knows he must seek shelter. Taking refuge in the school’s boiler room to await rescue he discovers that the room’s small window is the perfect place to watch humans go by.

The Star Boy knows about humans from his Earth lessons but no one from his planet has ever studied them up close. Now he has the perfect opportunity. There are two humans in particular that catch his attention – a boy called Wes and a girl named Kiki. But as his curiosity grows so does his courage and, making a momentous decision, the Star Boy follows Wes and Kiki into class … and into their lives.

Critic reviews

'Narrator Robyn Holdaway's lively voice and British accent drop listeners right into the heart of Fairfield Academy, where Kiki and Wes have just started secondary school. After Kiki's popular friends shut her out, she forms an unlikely friendship with Wes when they share a surprising secret. They discover that an alien has crashed to Earth and is living in the boiler room of their school. Holdaway creates distinct voices for the snooty teen girls, a male bully, Kiki's precocious younger brother, and, most memorably, Star Boy, the alien. Listeners will laugh at Star Boy's curiosity and enthusiasm to be experiencing life on Earth firsthand. Music separates each passing day, adding to the magical feel of this heartwarming audiobook.'
