When she isn’t writing Sarah can probably be found visiting a school somewhere, encouraging children to read, write or save the world!

Characters

Alfie Slider
10-year-old schoolboy, Alfie Slider, has a normal life until the day he finds a mysterious key in an alley. From the moment he picks it up, his life will never be the same again.
The Shape Shifter
In the first adventure, Alfie comes up against a shape shifting pirate alien called a Variado. The alien wants the key Alfie has found, and he can look like anyone as he searches for it.


Alfie’s Friends & Family
Alfie isn’t alone. He’s helped along on his adventures by his friends and family, even if they don’t share his big secret. There’s his best friend, Amy, the accident-prone Omar, pesky little sister, Lizzie, quiz-addicted Granny, weird parents and many, many, more.
The Frozen Prince
In book two, someone’s elbow hits a big red button and that small event pulls Alfie and friends into a interplanetary conflict. Can Alfie help the frozen prince?
