"As with Lucy Hawking´s first book about George, this is an exciting tale for children, interspersed with some serious science. I came away from this one feeling that the short essays on all manner of spacey stuff could easily be used to teach people older than ten about astrophysics, too. There is something about getting the cream of space/physics/astronomy to write on serious subjects, but aimed at young children...It´s not only astrophysics you get. There is a fair bit on the environment, too, and not all through George´s parents, who are rather Green. Plenty of food for thought in here." Bookwitch 20110928
