Good afternoon everyone I hope you are having a good Saturday. I’m excited to be involved in a special book loop where the same book gets sent around different bloggers to annotate and write how they feel about the book.
This book arrived today having already been annotated by the author and Sally who will be reading the audiobook. I’ve not done much annotation in books so I’m looking forward to trying it with this book.
Huge thanks to Alex Harwood from @quercusbooks for sending this to me.
Out 13th February 2025!

Book Synopsis:
Perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Remarkably Bright Creatures, this is a charming, witty and profoundly moving novel about what it feels like to grow up neurodivergent.
‘Wise and playful and tender and beautiful’ Bobby Palmer
Little Alien lives with her mum and her dad in the South-East of England. Her mum has a ‘how-to’ guide for every situation, and her dad is always kind and always right. And there is her best friend Bobby, who coincidentally has a bob.
But it is only when Little Alien sees a documentary about the Voynich Manuscript – a mediaeval codex written in an unknown language and script – that she begins to suspect that there are other people who feel just like her. Convinced that translating this manuscript will offer the answers she needs, she sets out on a journey that will show her a delicious taste of freedom.
So begins Little Alien’s story, told from the perspective of an older, wiser linguist, whose guidance will help Little Alien navigate a world that makes her feel like she doesn’t belong.
