Daniel knows his mum was seriously ill once – mentally ill – though it’s not something he likes to dwell on, especially since she’s fine now. In fact, she’s just landed a big new job as a head teacher. The trouble is, she’s head of his new school! It’s mortifying – everyone’s bound to tease him about it. But then things take a turn for the worse. With his dad away, his mum stops taking the medication that keeps her illness at bay, and as she starts behaving like she’s from another planet, Daniel realises something is seriously wrong – and that he might be the only one who can help her. Earth to Daniel returns to Bloomsbury with a refreshed cover look and renewed marketing and publicity, bringing new readers to this quirky, lovely modern classic. Moving, funny and totally relatable, it’s a story about looking out for yourself, looking out for your family, and finding friends in unlikely places. Originally published as My Mum is from Planet Pluto.
