When his parents are lost in space, Sam is left in the care of the horrible neighbour Hilda Hardbottom. There he finds a tiny spaceship in the cabbage patch and meets a little alien called Splodge. Splodge loves ketchup, enjoys learning languages and can make himself - and Sam - invisible. How Sam uses this helpful new skill is a very funny and satisfying story for young readers.
