About the Book
Reviews

When the Emerald Cactus in the Desert of Doom explodes, Budsville is covered in sparkling green sand ...

Soon the evil Desert Elves will arrive on their Scorpion Chariots. How can Alfie stop them?

A very special lawnmower hidden in a secret subway under Grandad’s shed might do the trick – and it might help Alfie and Fitzer in the go-kart race, too!

'Excitement is enhanced by the black and white illustrations. Readers will hang on every word' - CBI's Bookfest Recommended Reading Guide

'O’Brien’s characteristic mix of adventure, humour and celebration of the natural environment, together with Texier’s complementary black and white drawings, should particularly appeal to boys of between 6 and 8, and to reluctant readers of up to 10.' - INIS

'A charming hero is Joe O’Brien’s Alfie Green, a little boy who has wild adventures of the plant variety. The Supersonic Subway is a lovely story that features exploding cacti and a magic lawnmower.' - Sunday Independent

'The Story rattles along at a great pace and offers an ideal read for boys aged 6 to 8.' **** - RTÉ Guide
