Charlie stepped cautiously into the doorway, looking around to see a vast space inside. He stopped then stepped outside again to look at the outside of the spaceship before stepping back inside.
“That corridor stretches out into the middle of the park, but the outside doesn’t even reach the police station fence,” said Charlie in amazement.
“Ah that’s the visual space thingy wotsit, thing,” said Phartman.
“What?” said Charlie.
“I don’t know either. Nik Nik presses some buttons and twiddles some switches and things happen,” said Phartman.
“How on earth did you manage to get here?” asked Charlie.
“Well Nik Nik presses some buttons and twiddles some switches,” Phartman replied.
BOOK REVIEW:
Phartman by Glyn Davies
This book is a charming and imaginative little journey that offers both humor and heart. The idea of an alien collecting cabbages for spaceship fuel is unusual, but it’s handled in such a warm and playful way that it feels completely natural. Phartman is an endearing character—gentle, curious, and just trying to do his thing without bothering anyone. Watching Charlie, the kind local cop, try to protect him from a nosey reporter brings a nice balance of fun and tension.
Though the book is short, it manages to leave you thinking. It quietly highlights how people treat outsiders and how important it is to protect innocence in a world that often doesn’t understand it. With its simple writing and quirky plot, this book is perfect for readers looking for something light but meaningful—something that entertains while gently nudging the heart.
