About this product...
Spaceboy is a gloriously imaginative, fast‑paced adventure from David Walliams, blending cinematic action, warm humour and a nostalgic 1960s setting.

What follows is a whirlwind of daring escapes, desert chases, secret bases and Walliams’ trademark blend of comedy and heart. The story celebrates courage, friendship and the power of standing up for what’s right — even when the world refuses to believe you.
Illustrated by Adam Stower, the book features expressive, characterful artwork that enhances the adventure and brings Ruth’s world vividly to life. Ideal for confident readers aged 8–12 years, Spaceboy offers short, engaging chapters, accessible language and a cinematic sense of fun that keeps pages turning.
