review 1: Hi guys I am reading George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt. It is very special because it's about space, and I love space. George is a normal kid like me. He is an astronaut. He was leaving his planet and his friends and family. This book reminds me of Star Wars!!!!!!! Beacause all the characters in Star Wars are in space. I think when George saw another spaceship I think the person in the space ship are going to be friends. This is the best story did you know that light travels 846.000 miles per secend but the sun light will take apaxematle 8 minits and the next nerest star will take more than 4 years. George is just like me he want's to be a scintist too. I have bad news Anni and his dad Eric is leaving and going to America and George is alon.
review 2: World-famous ... moreProfessor Stephen Hawking again teams up with his daughter Lucy to tell the second installment of George's adventures in space. An aspiring scientist with eco-warrior parents somewhere in England, George was thrilled in the first book (GEORGE'S SECRET KEY TO THE UNIVERSE) when a real live rocket scientist moved in next door. Unfortunately for George, Eric has taken a position with the Global Space Agency and is moving his family across the Atlantic to Florida. But no sooner has George settled into the prospect of a lonely, boring summer than he recieves an urgent message from Eric's daughter, Annie; she needs his help to save the world from destruction.The twists and turns of the plot are interspersed with short essays about relevant theories in astronomy and physics (written by Professor Hawking and other experts, whose names and titles are given at the beginning of the book) cleverly disguised as a book put together especially for George. As in the first book, sections of full-color space photos are also included. More relevant to the plot, though, are Garry Parsons' fantastic black-and-white illustrations. He provides just the right combination of realism and cartoon to complement the story.Despite some pacing issues and the occasionally overwrought prose, this is a fun mix of science fiction, mystery, and adventure. A must for young would-be astronauts. less
