An entertaining, laugh-out-loud tale of school life, bullies and bugs from Spectre Collectors author Barry Hutchison.

Ant isn't like many other boys. His clothes are always dirty, there are often bugs in his hair and he doesn't even know anything about footie!

But what really sets him apart is what's hiding behind his ginormous green sunglasses – and that has to be seen to be believed…

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

"An enjoyable and humorous little tale that will appeal to younger readers" – The Letterpress Project

"Will appeal to children who like science fiction and a good laugh … It is now doing the rounds of my class and almost all the children want to read it, but particularly the boys. Any book which can muster these levels of enthusiasm is great and comes highly recommended!" – Books for Topics

"Kids who like sci-fi, a bit of super-hero action, and to laugh will really enjoy this new book" – LoveReading4Kids

"I loved unlikely friendships, bugs and the slightly dark ‘mad scientist’ twist. Just the kind of cracking collaboration you’d expect between the award-winning Barry Hutchison and accessible publishers Barrington Stoke" – Library Girl and Book Boy, Blog

"Fast paced, with lots of wonderful illustrations that would definitely help engage younger or struggling readers (as long as they don’t have a fear of bugs!) … I highly recommend" – Highland Book Fairy, Blog
