This is the official website for The Late Crew, the award-winning children's book series (perfect for 8-12 year olds) about young carers investigating aliens! ​​

 

The Late Crew is about Tyler, who supports both his mum with chronic fatigue and his autistic younger brother Levi (who is also a space expert!).
