Suitable for 8 years upwards, readers take a rollercoaster ride through the vastness of space and, in the midst of an exciting adventure, discover the mysteries of physics, science and the universe with George, his new friends next door - the scientist Eric and his daughter, Anne - and a super-intelligent computer known as Cosmos, which can take them to the edge of a black hole and back again.
Or can it? And who else would like to get their hands on Cosmos?
This book is the first in a hugely enjoyable series of three titles and is a gripping tale in which the adventure is interspersed with Cosmos’ information on the science, physics and astronomical details that every young reader will want to know.
The book is illustrated throughout with Garry Parsons’ picture to follow the story and full-colour photos of some of the most amazing sights in space - solar flares on the Sun, exploding stars, nebulae, spiral galaxies and other fascinating real images.
A terrific page-turner that will be a revelation to every young reader who has ever looked into the skies and wondered: about the origins of the universe; about time and space; about the structure of comets, planets, black holes and suns.
