"A brilliant, exciting interstellar adventure! ... I can't wait to read the next installment of the Spacecoyotes stories!"
Amazon.co.uk review
"The pace is fast, the style is animated, the characters are alive and the storyline is original; it is faster, more animated, alive and original than anything I have read recently."
- Reader letter
"The plot twist at the end is well written and surprises the reader as you never see it coming.
I definitely recommend it."
- School pupil, Sheffield
"The narrative flows with brisk and convincing ease. The style is both clear and confident. The characters are carefully created. All these characteristics of style and content combine extraordinarily well and encourage in turn that “willing suspension of disbelief” which is essential to the best Science Fiction."
- Ex-Chief Inspector of Schools

When fourteen year old JoJo’s dreams of joining the elite SpaceCoyote Academy are ruined by a sinister plot against her, she is drawn into a dark secret kept hidden from her family for forty years.
Determined to uncover the truth and following the only clue she has, JoJo sets out with her reluctant younger brother, 2B on a perilous journey to the other side of the galaxy. Her destination, a planet so dangerous that no one on Anilar dare even speak its name.
So begins a spine tingling adventure that sees JoJo battle not only her own fears and prejudices, but an unknown and unseen enemy willing to do anything to stop her uncovering the secret of the Blue Planet.
Meanwhile on earth, in the heart of Apple Valley, teenager Jimmy Green has his own problems. His rock band, Applejuice, have just won through to the final of the town’s prestigious Battle of the Bands competition, and they have lost their singer.
As Jimmy’s dream of winning the competition is fast turning into a nightmare, he and the band are suddenly plunged into an extraordinary adventure when they discover a crashed UFO in the middle of the apple orchard and … its two surviving alien pilots!
With both sides unsure who to trust, the story takes us through Jimmy and JoJo’s budding friendship as they quickly realise the only way they can both succeed is to join forces. Whilst Jimmy is astounded by JoJo’s amazing ‘alien’ talents (Vocalosis and Picture Walking), JoJo discovers that Jimmy and his band hold the key to not only getting her home, but finally unlocking the secret that brought her there in the first place.
As forces strive to stop them at every turn, music, magic and space are brought together in an explosive climax as Jimmy and JoJo’s two worlds collide and they find themselves fighting for their own survival.
Crammed full of plot twists and absorbing characters, this gripping and vibrant children’s fantasy adventure is truly out of this world. This is the first of a trilogy.
