You just have to want one. We use little files - cookies - that we store on your computer to help personalise our website and allows us to keep track of how you use it. Write it down on a post-it note and then read the book full of its own post-it notes.Prez knows that the best way to keep track of things is to make a list. He also uses that humor to his advantage to incorporate pathos into his stories in a way that never seems forced or cheesy.

The layers of meaning and emotion that the author had been weaving throughout the book just suddenly became clear and smacked me right in the heartstrings.I thought this book was hilarious.

Before returning it back I read the first three characters and got hooked.

This is exactly how I felt reading "Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth" by Frank Cottrell Boyce.

I almost never cry at books these days, but this one literally brought a tear to my eye.Strange and interesting idea for a story, but I just couldn’t get into it.I really liked this book because I liked the way the Author made Sputnik seem like a dog to some people, a boy to other people, and an alien to to other people. Thanks for sharing. His wry doggy observations and attitude are pitch perfect (augmented by the canine glossary and Castelao’s picture dictionary of dog postures found in the frontmatter). It's tart, very funny in places, and has one moment that made me cry. 24-Nov-16. Which was a fairly non-dramatic and normal and even funny ending. Not me. I want to keep Sputnick!



I knew what he likes and after doing some research I felt this book was right for him.

After reading the reviews and checking out the fun cover, I couldn't wait to rip into this novel. He and Prez must come up with 10 incredible things about Earth to make it worth preserving.


Architecture doesn't count, but a harmonica might.

Prez knows that the best way to keep track of things is to make a list. First sentence: Before you start anything, make a list.

Very unique book. Sputnik is a mysterious creature who can hear what Prez is thinking, and appears to others as a dog, though they cannot agree on what sort of dog he is. I remember this one Christmas when I was younger.

I sobbed for about 10 solid minutes after reading the ending. by Be the first to ask a question about Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth For every dreaming girl (and boy) with a pencil in hand (or keyboard) and a story to share. This small, loud stranger carries a backpack, walks with a swagger and goes by the name of Sputnik.As Prez dithers on the doorstep, Sputnik strolls right past him and introduces himself to everyone in the household. Sputnik, meanwhile, is looking for reasons why the earth should be saved from its imminent fate of being shrunk as his own planet was.

Sputnik's Guide is zany and funny and fast-moving...and caught me completely off guard (in a good way).

Moving south to live with her maternal grandmother, she is in a world of sweet peas and collards, getting her hair straightened and avoiding segregated stores with her grandmother. Life is not like this, but it sure would be fun. I discovered them through my children, and Cosmic is my favorite book of all times along with His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. (even though I realised Frank C B wrote another book before as well, something to do with broccoli).

There were lots of great ideas, but none of them were ever fully realized. This book is bonkers!

Prez has come to live with the Blythe family, who foster children, similar to the foster agency in Birmingham, UK. Poor Prez is further hindered by his own personal circumstances and the fact that everyone else thinks that Sputnik is a dog.When Prez meets Sputnik, a small loud alien, he doesn't really know what to expect but is horrified to hear that Sputnik is here to save the earth from imminent destruction and Prez's task is to come up with a list of ten things that make our planet worth saving.

Then the doorbell rings— despite the fact they don’t have a doorbell.

Published I can't imagine a kid not loving this book.It's a great author who can make the reader believe the unbelievable.

Under the tree there was this big box with my name on it.

The dog talks to Prez by somehow reading his thoughts. What if you knew someone was a short alien in a kilt, but everyone else thought he was a dog? All Rights Reserved.
