Nothing ever happens in the sleepy town of Badger’s Bottom. In fact, its only claim to fame is that it’s the most BORING place to live in the universe.

That’s until a UFO lands in Jamie and Megan’s back garden and invaders leap out to begin their conquest of Earth, under the command of Major Pain…

Tommy Donbavand’s Funny Shorts is a series of 4,000-word colour illustrated, chapter-based readers, which are perfect for bridging the gap between first chapter books and independent reading.
