Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: The Aliens Are Coming!

Three more slapstick early readers from our favourite doggy detectives, all set in the summer sun. And things are HOTTING UP! Someone is CHEATING in the SANDCASTLE competition! There's something FISHY about the new CAFE! But it's the ALIEN INVASION that REALLY makes Shifty and Sam lose their COOL! Anyone for an ICED bun?! Brilliant stories hilariously told by Tracey Corderoy and read by Rosie Jones. Have you listened to Shifty and Sam's other fiction adventures? The Spooky School Up, Up and Away! Jingle Bells!

Tracey Corderoy (Author) Tracey grew up in South Wales, on a council estate firmly sandwiched between the steel and chemical works. She's a trained teacher, but now writes full-time in an old damp cottage in a valley in the woods. A multi award-winning author, her first book was published in 2010, and in October 2021, her 72nd. Her passion for nosing into other people's 'stories' began in early childhood, thanks to an ancient set of encyclopaedias and a Ladybird copy of Cinderella. Then one special teacher and many great librarians fed Tracey more and more books. Between their pages real magic started to happen. Impossible became plausible. Characters became friends. Boundaries became gates as slowly her world opened up. Books made her laugh, and cry, and think. They made her feel that maybe she could do things...
