Following the smash-hit success of GEORGE'S SECRET KEY TO THE UNIVERSE comes a second out of this world adventure from Lucy Hawking and Professor Stephen Hawking, the most famous science genius in the Universe!
Product Description
'We are going,' said Annie, 'on a great cosmic journey. So listen up, Savers of Planet Earth, and prepare to meet the Universe.'
George's best friend Annie needs help. Her scientist father, Eric, is working on a space project - and it's all going wrong. A robot has landed on Mars, but is behaving very oddly. And now Annie has discovered something wierd on her dad's super-computer.
Is it a message from an alien? Could there be life out there? How do you find a planet in outer space? And if you could talk to aliens, what would you say?

I have an 8yr old son who loved the first book, and is enjoying being read this book. There's lots of information in there if you get asked a difficult question, and the plot is great for the kids to follow.

I have been reading this to my 5 year old son. We have already read George's Secret Key to the universe and my son pestered the life out of me to get this book as soon as we had finished. Although my son is only 5 he was able to understand the story line easily and the plot kept both of us interested until the end.
This time George travels to America for the holidays to stay with Eric and Annie who have moved there. He meets a new friend Emmett and the three children become involved in a cosmic puzzle which involves journeys to other worlds via Cosmos the computer.
The great bit about these books is that they are educational as well as exciting to read. Throughout the book are pages explaining different scientific facts which relate to the plot of the book and also some amazing colour photos which really spark the imagination.
We were fortunate enough to meet Lucy Hawking at the Edinburgh Science Festival recently who confirmed that a third adventure will be released soon.
Would recommend this for age 5 and up although younger children would need an adult to read the story to them. A great book for enquiring minds.

I bought this book for my son as he really enjoyed Stephen Hawking's previous book and as my son is someone who hates reading I was amazed when he actually finished a book.
I am hoping he will enjoy this one just as much.

educational for kids but also entertaining for parents
I myself enjoyed listening to the CD. It is an intellingent way to introduce physics and astronomy to children but will not be boring to adults.
