A play on the location 'The Hackney Marshes,' the story centres on a boy who finds a small green Martian, crash-landed on the famous football common, and so begins an exciting journey of friendship and daring adventure! In true Indiana Jones style, to help his new-found friend, the boy must embark on a dangerous and epic quest through the sewers under the streets to the Tower of London, avoiding giant ravens and guards to find the one special ingredient that will power the Martian's spaceship and return his friend home diamonds ! The Hackney Martian is a warm tale of friendship, teamwork and camaraderie set against the backdrop of London. Review: A great, very British adventure written and illustrated with wit ... - A great, very British adventure written and illustrated with wit and charm that appeals to both girls and boys (my 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son loved it!) The illustrations are a gorgeous mix of bold colours and compositions with expressive textures and tones. We really enjoyed spotting all the lovely details and choosing our favourite pages. Rowena Blyth is definitely one to watch. Review: Fab stoy - Great story, my son love this book

A rip-roaring tale…
This book is cracking fun, and our 2 yr old twins absolutely love it! It's particularly Hackney-centric — more related to London really — but it is sweet, original and exciting. A good book for adventurous toddlers.

Great Adventure in London!
Super cute book! We took a two week trip to England and saw this at the children's museum. My kids love to see the references to the areas we visited and the things we did while we were there, in this silly funny creative and adventurous book!
