'Carnavas is a wonderful, warm-hearted writer, and manages to filter every nugget of philosophy through the eyes of his child narrator.' The Telegraph
'The writing is deceptively simple, each scene a masterpiece of understatement and restraint, but suffused with warmth and humour.' Storylinks

'Ralph sat up. His voice was croaky. 'If a shooting star zoomed past right now, what would you wish for?'

'To find another friend like you.'

Leo and Ralph have been best friends ever since Ralph flew down from one of Jupiter's moons. But now Leo's older, and Mum and Dad think it's time to say goodbye to Ralph. When the family moves to a small country town, they hope Leo might finally make a real friend. But someone like Ralph is hard to leave behind...

Perfect for kids who enjoy gentle, thoughtful stories like The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and the Polly and Buster series by Sally Rippin.
