Go on a galactic adventure with the last human on Earth, his alien best friend, and a depressed android.
Introducing younger readers to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this YA edition of the funny sci-fi classic includes an introduction from Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer. One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass.
It’s the final straw for Arthur Dent, who has already had his house bulldozed that morning.
But for Arthur, that is only the beginning . . . In the seconds before global obliteration, Arthur is plucked from the planet by his friend Ford Prefect – and together the pair venture out across the galaxy on the craziest, strangest road trip of all time! Totally hilarious, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV show, stage play, comic book and film, and is and a work of utter comic genius from Douglas Adams.

I enjoy reading this book although it is quite hard to read. It has a lot of funny parts in it and I would recommend it to people aged 12+

A really funny book! Marvin the Paranoid Android is hilarious and so are the computers and doors! Arthur Dent is a great character and he is a character that you don’t want to get hurt. Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford Prefect and Trillian are all amazing too! Douglas Adams is an amazing author and writes the best books!
