A boy called George had a marvellous idea
One night as he gazed at the stars,

With his homemade rocket and map of the stars, George is sure the Martians will be easy to find. But when he lands, the Martians can't be seen. George is alone … or so he thinks. Could that really be … a parade of alien musicians?
