    “Book Descriptions: The Earth has been sold. What could possibly go wrong?

    Shortlisted for The Selfies Fiction Award 2021

    Finalist in the Page Turner Awards 2021

    It’s the Year 2024. Drowning in debt following the pandemic and facing ruin, the world's leaders have taken the only logical decision.

    They’ve sold the planet.


    When Toby, a penniless student, and his two new flatmates find out one morning on TV, they're surprised to find the Earth’s new owners are staggeringly cute and bring the promise of a debt-free future. They're just getting ready to celebrate along with the rest of the world, when a chance encounter with a mysterious professor reveals the truth. And there’s a glitch: the Earth is about to be destroyed.

    Fresh, fun and fast-paced, How to Buy a Planet is the unforgettable tale of three students on an impossible quest to beat the system. If you're a fan of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, or sci-fi hero, Doctor Who, this is the must-read sci-fi novel of 2021.
