Date: 1984-07-00
Type: SHORTFICTION [juvenile]
Length: short story
Language: English
Note: Evidently original to the 1984 collection.
Uninvited Ghosts and Other Stories lists previous publications of three stories among eight, not this one, and the 1st ed. front jacket flap blurbs "five of them new, three previously published in anthologies" (1984 Heinemann ed. previewed at Open Library).
British Library record BL 010719302 mistakenly notes this story published in Jubilee Jackanory (BBC, 1977). That anthology contains a different story by Lively; WorldCat OCLC 7442671 provides a list of contents.
Synopsis:
Peter is staying with his grandmother when a Martian knocks on the door and asks for a spanner to mend his spaceship. But the spaceship takes off without him and Peter and his grandmother are left with a house guest.
