Royd is convinced that his friend, Gark, has everything. Gark just got a space pod, and he is allowed to go to Mars whenever he likes. Not only that, but he also doesn't have an annoying little sister who always wants to play Hide-and-Bleep. Royd tries to keep his green eyed monster (G.E.M.) under control, but at Gark's amazing birthday party, there's a booster bouncer, a magician from Mars, a dragon to light his birthday candles, and all the kids get to whirl around the rings of Saturn! Royd gets so jealous that his G.E.M. gobbles him right up! Can Gark help him realize that having things isn't everything?

Industry Reviews

"I particularly like the fashion style of Dad's yellow boots, and the picture of the children whizzing around Saturn's rings as a birthday party game" -- Alison Boyle Nursery World "Reminiscent of those cute Sixties cartoons set in space, full of suburban families and high-tech gadgets" -- Georgia Metcalfe Daily Mail "G.E.M. has real personality and 'hands on hips' attitude" -- Rosemary Hetherington Inis "The best book on jealousy we've come across" My Child
