This book was a bit scary because Eric got lost in a BLACK HOLE. But George and Annie - and Cosmos - saved him.

I can't decide if this book is a story or a fact book because the characters are made up but there are loads of facts in it. I would recommend this book to boys and girls of all ages. Stay happy

This was a book I had to read with school so I wasn’t expecting to like it that much but it’s really good. The main character is a boy, but this book is good for girls and boys. Fun and exciting.

I liked this book a lot. The story revolves around 8 year old George who finds that his neighbour has a computer that can take anyone to space. My favourite character was George because he is quite a curious and adventurous boy. This book interested me because I love reading about space. I would recommend this book.

This book was great! It is a must read. After reading this book, Lucy and Stephen Hawking are my favourite authors. On my next trip to the library, I must get the second novel. I really enjoyed this book and i would recommend it to anyone who loves action and adventure stories. Plus it includes amazing science content and facts about space!! My summary of the book: George never at all in his life expected to be swept up in an intergalactic adventure but that is exactly what happens when he uncovers the most amazing computer in history COSMOS who can talk and send them into space, yes real live space. Awesome, right? But the mysteries of the universe are bigger than they could've believed. As well as becoming an astronaut, GEORGE is now a member of the ORDER OF SCIENTIFIC ENQUIRY FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY. Whilst discovering comets and black holes, GEORGE accidentally leaves the front door open resulting in the most powerful computer in the world to fall into enemy hands... HAPPY READING!!

I love the way George went to the neighbors house and just saw the universe it was so strange how the neighbors house was so much more than a ordinary house.

This is a Science Fiction novel written by Lucy Hawking and her dad the amazing Stephen Hawking. It's about a boy called George who's pet pig breaks through a fence where George meets his nextdoor neighbour and his daughter. He is a scientist who has a portal to outer space. I don't want to give too much away but it's definitely worth reading to find out all about the great adventure they have.
