Kweezy tries to explain to the girls about Einstein's theory of Relativity
Would you like an adventure on another planet?
This is just one of the questions Lara and her sister, Eva, must answer one sunny day in their garden. They wonder, how will they return to Earth in time for lunch? And how will they get there when the aliens' spaceship is so small?
When it's only big enough for ants!
But their help is needed on the planet Zeegrazzalo- Jeewoppza so off they go - into the unknown. Their feelings of helplessness only start to fade after a flight across the planet's Outerlands, in Kweezy Capolza's hummingcraft. Maybe, just maybe, the sisters can find some solutions to the aliens' problems. However, they think they might need their mother's help and she is back on Earth!

The review from D.C. Wolf was really touching. When I first read it I felt quite emotional because the reviewer said pretty well everything about Ants In Space that I had hoped it would do when setting out to write it. Having written several books now I am very aware that it is so rewarding when a reader does "get it"; when they get what an author intends in their book. But when that reader also sets time aside to write a truly comprehensive review about the book - WOW! Thank you so much, D.C. Wolf. I've come back to your review for a recharge of my writing batteries.
Now then I must emphasise that I don't expect 3 or 4 hundred words in a review every time from readers! Like other writers I will always be pleased just to hear from readers any opinion about my books. A few words in a review, however, can often help other potential readers make a choice, and in addition help the writer improve their technique and skill for the next writing project. So, if you can find a few minutes to post a review on, Amazon etc, please do so and Thank You, from G.J. Griffiths.

Lara eating her green porridge with one eye closed!
Here is an extract from the book when the girls are on the Aliens' spaceship. I hope you enjoy it!
Kweezy came over to Lara and held her other hand as the roaring noise suddenly went quieter and quieter, until there was just a gentle kind of swishing sound. It was just like the sound of a warm breeze in the trees on a bright summer day. A little like the day they had left behind on Earth and the sisters felt sad for a moment.
'That is correct, Agorrl. Nothing to worry about. It is only our rocket engines pushing us through the gravity of your Earth. We will now travel at such velocity that we will reach Antanesta before you have time to finish your meal.'
As Kweezy Capolza finished speaking, another ant-person came to them with a green tray, of what seemed to be large green leaves that had small lumps of green porridge on them. The sisters looked at each other and said, ‘Yuk! I don’t feel very hungry anymore.’ But Kweezy said:
'You must try it, Agorrl, it is delicious! Mm, mm!'
So Lara lifted a green leaf of green porridge to her mouth, but paused, with her eyes closed, to sniff it first. Then she said to Eva, ‘Hm, it smells lovely, like honey and ice cream and strawberries, all at the same time.’
This immediately made Eva do the same thing. ‘And I can smell lemon meringue as well I think.’ Then Eva, still with her eyes closed, licked the green porridge to taste it.
‘Wow!’ said Eva. ‘Wow! You’re right, Kweezy, it’s scrummy!’ She opened her eyes and using the crystal spoon from the tray began to eat up the green porridge. Lara watched her and began to eat too.
‘Mm, mm! Scrummy, yummy in my tummy,’ said Lara, keeping one eye closed.
'Is something wrong with your eyes, Agorrl?'
‘What! Sorry! Er, I beg your pardon?’ replied Lara, trying to be polite as her mummy had taught her. ‘Oh, my eyes. Yes, I see, or rather I don’t see. That is, when they’re closed that is.’ She giggled when she saw the puzzled look on Zweezy Capolza’s face and the twisting and untwisting of his antennae above his head.
‘Lara,’ said Eva, ‘Why do you keep closing one eye and then the other eye while you’re eating? It is a bit confusing for everyone.’
It was then that they noticed that lots of the ant-person crew had gathered around to watch the girls eat their green porridge. They were curious to see if they enjoyed it. Anxious not to offend anyone Eva said, ‘This is really, really scrummy.’
Lara said, ‘Yes, it is really delicious. It’s a pity that I’ve eaten it all. But now it’s gone I can open both eyes again.’ She smiled and continued, ‘It’s just that I cannot bear to look at green porridge while I’m eating it. So I have to keep an eye open so I know where my crystal spoon is going. I don’t want to put green porridge in my hair or my ears by mistake, do I?’ There was a pause while all the onlookers thought about what she had said.
Hee, hee! giggled one or two. Har, har! chuckled three or four.
Ho, ho, ho, ho! Hee, hee, hee! Har, har, har!
And now everyone was laughing and chuckling and giggling at the girls. The two sisters had to join in and wiped their eyes because it seemed such a funny thing to say.
