Freddie Spector, Fact Collector: Space Cadet by Ashleigh Barton, illustrated by Peter Cheong

Freddie Spector loves collecting facts – about anything and everything. His latest obsession is space. It's all he talks about: stars, planets, galaxies, astronauts, space travel – and, of course UFOs and extraterrestrials. Freddie writes all his facts on sticky notes that his mum and big sister, Henrietta, keep finding in weird places – like in their sock drawers or their sandwiches.

But whenever Freddie collects facts on a topic, his very active imagination always gets involved too. And, after noticing some very suspicious goings-on, Freddie realises it's up to him to discover the answer to a burning question: could aliens have landed in his neighbourhood?

Also available: Freddie Spector, Fact Collector: Go For Gold
