Awarded Best Indie Young Reader, Children’s Literature Festival 2023 Tyler is late for school again. And his teacher's not happy about it. Thing is, his mum is sick and his autistic younger brother, Levi, needs help getting ready for school. Is Tyler supposed to leave without giving Levi his breakfast or Mum her cup of tea? Sent to detention for lateness, he is joined by “bad-boy” Jayden, class clown Alisha, and, most surprisingly, straight-A student, Grace. When an alien crash lands in their school gym, "The Late Crew" are entrusted with his special cargo. But can Tyler really take on another responsibility? It turns out his fellow Late Crew have problems of their own; but perhaps if they team up, they could just save their school and their new friend too…
