Teacups & Tentacles

The fair has come to town, and after waiting all year the children are excited to ride the tea cups, hook a duck and consume their favourite fairground treats, leaving a trail of litter and plastic behind them.

Creatures like these have just one goal, with their lasers and mind control. Empty your mind - what will they find? Smelly reptilian humanoid!

The children are disappointed when the fairground loses power, but this quickly turns to dread when an alien spaceship decends. Are the children doomed, or is the arrival of these strange beings the answer to all their problems?
