Cosmic Camel

by Emma Laybourn

Donal's school outing to the zoo transforms into a sudden excursion across space. Joined simply by a grandiose camel and a stowaway lemming, he winds up caught on an outsider spaceship which is tearing towards a far off planet.

The little green Meerie who welcome him look well disposed enough. However, when they send him on a mission to observe their missing space armada, it implies a perilous excursion across the desert where undeniably additional frightening outsiders reside.

About the author

I'm an author based in the north of England. Although I've spent most of my working life in schools and libraries, I've also had seven children's books published, as well as about 60 short stories in various magazines in the UK and Australia.
In 2012 I set up a child-friendly story website, Megamousebooks.com, to offer free online children's stories, downloadable ebooks and puzzles. It's proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one.
I've also been slowly producing free, abridged ebook versions of classic English novels, and selections of well-known poetry. These are now available from my second website, Englishliteratureebooks.com.
