About this listen

As the mighty alien fleet from the very latest computer game thunders across the computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow them into the usual million pieces. And they send him a message: We surrender. They're not supposed to do that! They're supposed to die. And computer joysticks don't have 'Don't Fire' buttons. But it's only a game... isn't it. Isn't it?

We and our 7 year old twins loved this. Excellent narration. There are a few minor swear words from one character, but nothing too serious. It does cover some serious topics, like car theft by children who are then in a crash and parents splitting up, but in a sensitive way; the main topics are war and when/ whether fighting is appropriate and acceptable, plus lots about race and gender equality and friendship. It's all cleverly woven into a fun story about entering a computer game and becoming a hero.

Superb!

Although this book is for younger readers, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The characters are brought to life by the great narratives.

Another great title from Mr. P.

I love this book, like every other Pratchett book before and after it, all though it's not set on the disc it's still well written and the plot is interestingly enjoyable.

My sons (7+9) have loved Terry Pratchett since Truckers etc. now we're well into the stories of Johnny and also the Tiffany Aching series. The reader is brilliant - always gets the tone and characters just right.

Excellent book and so good for 10 year olds+

A great story

Not my favourite in the trilogy, but I think that these stories are underrated and should be more popular than they are.
