Ilnoblet Elmer and the Alien Water Thieves is a fun and educational science-fiction book, about an ordinary boy, Ilnoblet Elmer, who’s also an alien but no one knows!
This alien superhero has lots of adventures trying to defeat tricky and sticky aliens, including the Mootilokygogrifies (that’s a mouthful to say – and they’re even worse when hiding in your garden shed). All in between going to school and handing in his homework on time!
The story has fun references to science, water, numbers, space travel, planets, extraterrestrials, and some special words and numbers which have an interesting effect on aliens!
There’s even a glossary to help with understanding Ilnoblet’s Gapitonian language – you’ll be speaking it in no time!
Rated 4 out of 4 stars by OnlineBookClub.org:
“’Ilnoblet Elmer and the Alien Water Thieves’ would be wonderful for ambitious readers between ages ten and fourteen. Younger readers might enjoy this with a parent. There’s plenty of action to keep kids interested, and alongside, there’s a fantastic message about fitting in. Newey captures the child’s mind so well… I love Newey’s use of letters and words in [Ilnoblet’s] confrontation with the Mootilokygogrifies. It’s such a unique take on the humans vs. extraterrestrials trope. You will find no lasers or photon torpedoes in this book. Instead, it’s the powers of order and creative knowledge that allow [Ilnoblet] to do battle.”
