A review by leathehatless
George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt by Lucy Hawking, Stephen Hawking

5.0

I loved this treasure hunt through space. It was a fun, heartwarming adventure with lovable characters and a funny plot. George, Annie and Emmet were very brave and also very reckless fitting their age of 12. I feel that the age group this book is written for could relate to them very easily. My favorite were the silly parents of George, oh man! On the downside, the villain had a very typical backstory but I was surprised on how the climax was handled.

The great part of the novel, and what made me gave it 5 starts, was the information about astronomy and other sciences. With such complex topics is hard to convey the important ideas and yet the book did it so brilliantly. I feel that anyone could understand the explanation given about planets and phenomena in space.

Even if you are not a young teenager, I feel you can still have a fun experience with this one. Recommended for space fanatics.
