Great fun and a definite possible guided reading for fluent readers in LKS2 or Y2. Fun, hilarious, deeply imaginative and does not take itself seriously at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Didn't enjoy this book as much as Oliver and the Seawigs, but overall it was a solid story filled with excitement.

Wish this book was actually divided into chapters, but it has some truly beautiful language for such a zany book. And the Nameless Horror is so shivery! Well done!

Just not for me, I think. It's a really wacky story about a girl traveling 199 years through space to populate a distant planet (along with a shipful of other humans). I would suggest this to fans of other wacky stories like Ook and Gluk, Spaceheadz, etc.

I picked this book up because the title made me laugh. By the time I had finished looking at the cover and reading the blurb I was in hysterics.
So I knew it'd be funny- likely a fun little romp- but what I didn't anticipate was how awesome the illustrations would be (perfectly and creatively interacting with the text) and how great the characters and their story would be.
Fun and funny, yes, but also sweet, brave, thought-provoking and SMART!
This is a great read-aloud or beginner book for all kids- AND their adults!

Astra perheineen on muuttamassa Nova Mundiin, maailmaan, johon matkaaminen Maasta kestää peräti 199 vuotta. Matka taitetaan omassa horroskapselissa nukkuen ja koko matka tuntuukin kuin pitkältä unelta. Astra kuitekin herää kesken kaiken ja joutuu outojen tapahtumien keskelle. Verenhimoiset kuppikakut ja muut leivokset liikkuvat aluksen käytävillä ja on Astran sekä hänen robottiystävänsä tehtävä selvittää, mikä on vialla ennen kuin on liian myöhäistä...
Kokonaisuutena ihan kiva kirja, jota on hauska lukea. Kuvitus tukee tarinan etenemistä ja lisää siihen omia mausteitaan. 3,5 tähteä 3 tähteen.

Great art and inquisitive and fun main character. A little slow in the middle, but silly and dramatic enough beginning and ending to make up for that.
