Geordie and the Spaceman

Geordie and the Spaceman is the story of a young lad named Geordie who meets Yuk, a space boy who has stolen his father's space ship as a dare and landed on Earth by mistake. Yuk knows his father will not reach him for a week and the story covers the boys' adventures as they build a lasting friendship. Geordie's family look after Yuk and keep his arrival a secret, aided by the fact that Yuk can turn himself invisible. As the week progresses, Yuk realizes that there are a lot of similarity between his race and that of the humans. In fact, Earth has been carefully studied by the 'Yukkarites' for quite some time and Geordie's encounter with Yuk leads to an early meeting of the two life forms.
