THE SPACE SHIP UNDER THE APPLE TREE looked like a falling star and it might have hit the apple tree, so Eddie had to investigate. And what he found there in the moonlit apple orchard made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up straight. Everyone will have the same experience when he meets Marty, the little man from Martinea, and his space ship, an astral rocket disk.

With his non-gravity shoes, luminous dictionary box, speedy pocket helicopter and many other amazing gadgets, he completely transformed Eddie's visit at his grandmother's farm from a quiet vacation to a dizzy adventure. And when Marty lost his secret power Z and was grounded, the excitement really began!

Here is science-fiction at its most amusing, with Louis Slobodkin's imagination running riot in many lively drawings and unusual story.
