Cosmic Calamity
Description
An intergalactic adventure with aliens, spaceships and goo galore!
Filled with fun black-and-white line illustrations.
Hex is the worst space invader on Planet X. Every time he tries to
do anything it goes wrong. He can't shoot a ray gun, he can't fly
a spaceship and he couldn't spot an earthling even if it jumped
up and bit him on the probe! But it's not his fault - he's cursed.
When Hex discovers that his long-lost father is happily living on
Planet Earth, he can't believe his luck. He decides to give up space
invading for good and join his dad.
The only problem is, Hex can't fly a spaceship... Will he make it
in one piece?
