Black and white illustrations and fabulous use of font and formatting maintain the high energy levels as the boys’ alien-fuelled plot bounces along. So imagine the trauma of finding a fierce, crinkly-faced supply teacher, with spiky heels and a personality to match, has replaced Mrs H at the front of the classroom. Welcome to the imaginative brain of Omar, whose parents decided it would be a good idea to move house AND move Omar to a new school at the same time.

When the money goes missing, it's up to Omar and his friends to become super spies to track down the culprit! Understandably worried, Omar asks his cousin if that's true, and both hope it isn't, because there's a distinct lack of good pizza there.
