Summary

Pete's teacher seems ready to swallow any excuse. But surely even he won't fall for the tale about a stranded spacecraft and an alien who floats? Or will he?

Critic reviews

"Pete's teacher, Mr Scarsdale, falls for the lamest student excuses. So there's a bet on about how tall a tale he'll swallow, and Pete pushes it to the limit with his excuse for tardiness featuring a stranded spacecraft and an alien. Stig Wemyss is an engaging and funny narrator whose voice, with its irresistible Australian accent, will prompt children to imitate him long after the story is over." (AudioFile Magazine)
