Attack of the Alien Brain
by Steve Hartley
These fibs just got real! The first hilarious book in a brand-new series for boys. Hi! I'm Oliver Tibbs (some people call me "Oliver Fibbs") and everyone in my family is super-brilliant at something – chess, ballet, brain surgery and architecture – but I'm not brilliant at anything. Show and Tell (or as I call it: Pain and Torture Time) is my worst nightmare... I haven't got a black belt at karate or made a mega-powerful electro-magnet. All I'm good at is reading comics and eating pizza. But I'm fed up with being Dull and Boring, so I've been telling the class about my adventures as a Defender of Planet Earth – battling against the evil Alien Brain Drain who wants to take over the world! Everyone loved it except Miss Wilkins, who gave me a detention for telling fibs. Now my parents think I'm Going Bad. I keep telling them – THEY'RE NOT FIBS, THEY'RE STORIES!
