Alexander saves the world from alien invasion, armed only with the faded underpants of a scientific genius! Hilarious, exciting and original writing from a highly acclaimed author.
Anthony McGowan was born in Manchester in 1965. Educated at a Leeds
comprehensive, he won't say that his characters' schooldays are
exactly based on his own but he certainly writes from experience.
Before turning to writing full-time, Anthony gained a PhD in
Philosophy, worked as a nightclub bouncer, an Open University
tutor, a journalist and a civil servant. He won the 2006 Booktrust
Teenage Prize and Catalyst Award for his teenage novel Henry
Tumour.
He is married to Rebecca Campbell, a fashion designer and novelist.
They have two young children and live in north London.
It's dirty, inventive and made me laugh aloud . . . Any kid into
Andy Griffiths or the Astrosaurs series will be in ecstasy
*The Times*
I loved Einstein's Underpants. It strikes the perfect balance
between wacky wahey pants-based fun, and a top quality, energetic
sci-fi romp . . . The writing style is dramatic, punchy, and is
perfectly pitched at its audience. Anthony McGowan is always
excellent, and this is no exception. Highly
recommended.
*The Bookbag*
Entirely genius

If your nine year old has not yet discovered the world of Anthony
McGowan, then now might be the time
*Sunday Express*
Einstein's Underpants is zany, irreverent and downright absurd -
children will love it
