Did you know that a bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the Sun? Or that slugs have four noses? How about that humans share 50% of our DNA with bananas? Freddie Spector knows all these things and so much more.

But whenever Freddie collects facts on a topic, his very active imagination always gets involved too. And, after noticing some very suspicious goings-on, Freddie realises it’s up to him to discover the answer to a burning question: could aliens have landed in his neighbourhood?
