Hal Junior: The Secret Signal

Hal Junior lives aboard a space station, along with his parents, a large crew of scientists and his best mate, Stephen "Stinky" Binn.

Hal's way smarter than the adults on board, but instead of flying spaceships or inventing killer robots, what do they have him doing?

Chores!

Worse, someone thought it would be a great idea if Hal attended school!

Chores and homework! Could life get any duller?

Not today! Hal's class is set to tour a visiting spaceship. He's disappointed it doesn't have guns, missiles, torpedoes and space mines... but it's still an excursion!

Once aboard the visiting ship, Hal uncovers a secret plot.

A plot involving kidnappings, sabotage and more.

He tries to warn the scientists aboard the space station he calls home - but as usual, nobody believes him!

Well, Hal's not giving up that easily.

He decides to tackle the evil plotters himself - using a giant, home-made space cannon!

Can Hal Junior save the day - and the space station - or will the bad guys take over?

Get it now!

The Secret Signal will appeal to kids with a sense of humour and a taste for adventure.

This is the first book in the Hal Junior series. Book two, The Missing Case , and book three, The Gyris Mission, are also available.

"It's Dennis the Menace in space!"

Good clean fun! No swearing and no adult concepts.
