LIFE HACKS FOR A LITTLE ALIEN

Climb up here, Little Alien. Sit next to me. I will tell you about life on this planet. I will tell you how it goes''



Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Remarkably Bright Creatures, this is a charming, wittyand profoundly moving novel about what it feels like to grow up neurodivergent.



Little Alien lives with her mum and her dad in the South-East of England. Her mum has a ''how-to'' guide for every situation, and her dad is always kindand always right. And there is her best friend Bobby, who coincidentally has a bob.



But it is only when Little Alien sees a documentary about the Voynich Manuscript - a mediaeval codex written in an unknown language and script - that she begins to suspect that there are other people who feel just like her. Convinced that translating this manuscript will offer the answers she needs, she sets out on a journey that will show her a delicious taste of freedom.



So begins Little Alien''s story, told from the perspective of an older, wiser linguist, whose guidance will help Little Alien navigate a world that makes her feel like she doesn''t belong.
