‘He has something of Roald Dahl’s magic, but more heart’ – Sunday Telegraph
Cosmic is the laugh-out-loud space adventure by bestselling, award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
Liam Digby wanted to see the world, but not quite like this . . . He’s just an ordinary twelve-year-old. A very, very TALL ordinary twelve-year-old. Some people even think he’s a grown-up.
This is the incredible story of how Liam told some fibs, won a trip to a theme park, made some new friends and sort of, by accident, ended up in space.
A laugh-out-loud adventure of friendship, big dreams and an even bigger rocket, shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

This book is about a very tall 12 year old boy who manages to pass himself off as a adult and go to space. I would recommend this story to people who sci-fi adventures.

Cosmic is the reason I love space. It's all about a boy, who is called Liam. He is really tall and people think he's an adult.His friend Florida plays as Liam's daughter in real life. They travel to China, complete space missions and go space with Dr Drax's help. One of the bests books I've read. I would recommend it no matter what you like to read.

My favourite bit was when they're up in space because he's a boy pretending to be an adult with his friend on a rollercoaster, but the ride actually sends them into space! It was supposed to be the children and one adult going, but because he's really tall and looks like an adult (even though he's only 13!) He won the vote of who went on the space trip so it ended up being all children! He lied to his parents because he said he was going on a trip to the lake District with school and brought a fake form home for them to fill in. I like the bit where they write on the moon. They were the first kids sent into space as a test so the fair ground rides owner could send her own daughter up in the second flight. The first flight was supposed to be kept secret, but when the rides owners daughter went up, she found the writing!

It is interesting. It has many adjectives and descriptive sentences and I really like the book.

It was really good and I think that lots of other people would like it. I like the bit where Liam almost drives the Porsche with Florida in the car.

Alfie is so tall that he passes of as an adult. He takes it too far and takes his friend to a dangerous fun fair in China.
Viscount Natty Banana 24.07.2023
It is really engaging and taught me not to lie to our parents about where we go. Unless something bad might happen like in this book

It was great! Liam Digby is an ordinary 12 year old, but he is very tall for his age. Some people even think that he is a grown-up! With some pretending as a grown-up, he gets himself into a lot of trouble. I like Liam best because he wants to try out new things. I would recommend this book for all children that always wish to act like adults.
