The first book in a hilarious new diary format series from Ross Welford, the bestselling author of Time Travelling with a Hamster.

'Great fun.' - The Observer

Prince Kalimonka Evergreen Wildgore - Prince Kal, to you - is in big trouble.

Two days ago, back in his home realm of Imaginaria, he stepped into the Anywhere Cabinet - a magical, interdimensional portal - and things did not go according to plan. He ended up here, on Planet Earth. Worse, his beloved (and extremely smelly) pet is missing, and unless he can recharge the Anywhere Cabinet, he's stuck here forever.

Unfortunately, Earthlings don't believe in magical cabinets, stranded princes, or Imaginaria at all. So Kal starts a diary - to record his adventures, make sense of this bizarre land of soup and hairy giants, and, just maybe, figure out a way home.

Incredibly funny, illustrated throughout with diary-style doodles, and with a hilarious, one-of-a-kind hero, The Unlikely Diary of Prince Kal the Alien is the first book in a brilliant and unforgettable new series from Ross Welford, perfect for fans of Tom Gates, Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, and Hercules: The Diary of a (Sort of) Hero.
