They're having a barbecue one evening when Harry and his friends see what they think is the most amazing meteor shower. Harry, with his fabulous vision, realises it's certainly not a normal meteor shower. The next day, after a sweaty game of football, Harry and his team go for a swim in the sea as usual, but it's FAR colder than usual. There even seem to see bits of ice floating around! Harry decides to investigate. That night, he puts on his Utility Boots, and heads for the sea. There are now blocks of ice - but what's that glow in the middle of the sea? Harry discovers lots of strange creatures, and they start shooting shards at him with their icy breath. What are they up to? When Harry discovers that they're aliens from another, colder planet, intent on reducing the temperature of Earth so they can colonise it, he realises something must be done. This is a job for Super Soccer Boy! AUTHOR Judy Brown is an author, artist and illustrator. She has published several children's books, including the Pirate Princess series.

Book Description
"The perfect book right now for young readers searching for hope, strength, inspiration — and just a little horticultural havoc."—New York Times The first book in a can't-put-it-down, can't-read-it-fast-enough action-thriller trilogy that's part Hatchet, part Alien! The invasion begins--but not as you'd expect. It begins with rain. Rain that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout--overnight, everywhere. These new plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, and burrow below streets. They bloom--and release toxic pollens. They bloom--and form Venus flytrap-like pods that swallow animals and people. They bloom--everywhere, unstoppable. Or are they? Three kids on a remote island seem immune to the toxic plants. Anaya, Petra, Seth. They each have strange allergies--and yet not to these plants. What's their secret? Can they somehow be the key to beating back this invasion? They'd better figure it out fast, because it's starting to rain again....
