Fortunately, the Milk

by Neil Gaiman

Ages 6–9 Reading age 7 Short chapters Set in space funnystrange

A father goes out for milk and comes back very late, with an explanation involving aliens, pirates, a time machine and a volcano god.

A story about a grown-up hero and magical creatures, funny and strange in tone. We would put it with children of 6–9, and at a reading age of about 7 for reading alone.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
