The hilarious second book in the Alex vs Axel series by the author of Charlie Changes Into a Chicken.

Alex, Axel and the rest of the gang are back – but this time it’s Earth that’s in trouble . . .

Time has been frozen and every single person on the planet is in mortal danger. With just seven days to help them, the team are going to need extra help, which arrives in the shape of Alex's family cat, Mr Sunshine, and a bloodthirsty gnome called Finagle. Facing monsters, angels and warlocks, our unlikely heroes set off on a double quest. But can they overcome their own doubts and fears in time to save the day . . . ?
