David Walliams’ Spaceboy

Get ready for lots of supersonic entertainment in this hilarious otherworldly adventure from David Walliams!

A book titled Spaceboy by David Walliams features spaceboy, a robot, and a young girl standing on a rocky surface with a yellow explosion behind them. The cover is illustrated by Adam Stower and subtitled A Supersonic Adventure.

Twelve-year-old orphan Ruth is OBSESSED with space. She spends her days reading comics about alien invasions, doodling UFOs and gazing at the stars through her old, battered telescope.

But when a UFO crash-lands in a cornfield near her home, Ruth is suddenly launched into a supersonic adventure full of mystery and surprises… and a secret that could change the course of history!

OUT NOW!


MEET THE CHARACTERS!

A spaceboy with tousled hair and a striped shirt looks through a telescope, smiling, in a simple black-and-white illustration.

RUTH

Twelve-year-old Ruth lives with her awful auntie in the middle of nowhere. She spends every night looking through her telescope, dreaming of an outer-space adventure.


A black and white sketch of a cartoon dog with big ears and a large nose, sitting on the ground and looking upward with a curious, spaceboy-like sense of wonder.

YURI

Ruth found her dog Yuri when he was lost not far from her auntie’s farmhouse. He’s got three legs and is named after her hero, Yuri Gagarin – the first person to ever go to outer space!


A cartoon of a robot with a cape, looking like a true spaceboy hero.

SPACEBOY

A mysterious figure in a shiny silver spacesuit, Spaceboy speaks in a spooky voice, his face completely hidden behind his mirrored helmet.


A black-and-white drawing of an older woman with a stern expression, wearing a blazer, skirt, laced boots, and her hair in a tight bun, stands slightly hunched and pointing with one hand—almost as if scolding a spaceboy.

AUNT DOROTHY

After reluctantly taking in her orphaned relative Ruth, Aunt Dorothy put her straight to work on the farm. This scary lady looks like a crocodile and snaps like one too!
