McFly’s Tom Fletcher will be signing copies of new children’s book Space Band at Waterstones in Bluewater, near Dartford

Tom Fletcher will be meeting fans and signing copies of his new book, Space Band, at a Kent bookshop.

The McFly star is set to appear at Waterstones in Bluewater, in Greenhithe, on Saturday, December 10 from 3pm.

Tickets cost £12 and include a copy of Space Band. You can book tickets online here.

The musician’s latest book follows three best friends and bandmates who find themselves beamed up into space to take part in an out-of-this-world Battle of the Bands competition.

The book is inspired by his time in chart-topping boyband McFly. The four-piece are best known for singles such as All About You, Obviously and 5 Colours in Her Hair.

The book also comes with an album of eight original songs, performed by McFly. The lyrics from the soundtrack feature within the book in the hopes this will create a multi-dimensional reading experience for children.

Tom has written a number of books in the past, including children’s books The Christmasaurus and The Creakers.

He has also collaborated with bandmate Dougie Poynter on books the Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas and the Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet, and co-wrote the Eve of Man book trilogy with wife Giovanna Fletcher.

Ticket holders to the Bluewater book signing will receive their copy of Space Band ahead of the event.

During the book signing, fans will be allowed to bring a maximum of two additional books for the author to sign.

There will also be copies of Tom’s books at the event to purchase, but if you would like to get them signed you must purchase before joining the queue.
