Astronaut Adventures: Imagine being an astronaut and learn about the challenges they face in space. Understand what it takes to live and work in a weightless environment and how they prepare for their extraordinary missions. Naar de maan is een super schattig boek over de twaalfjarige Liam die met zijn lengte iedereen voor de gek houdt. Hij is zo groot, dat mensen denken dat hij een volwassene is. En zo belandt hij aan boord van een ruimteschip. De schrijfstijl is heel grappig en het verhaal vertederend. Echt een leuk kinderboek! Liam is a funny, engaging narrator, a mix of precocious child and wise adult who is obsessed with the Waterloos of the world and a role-playing computer game called World of Warcraft (which comes in very handy for navigating his way through encounters with grumpy adults). He carries the novel easily. When you remember how much practice Liam has at pretending to be an adult, and of having adults who know he's a kid always expecting him to behave better, "big lad like you", it's not all that surprising. Sure, sometimes his voice was a little too mature, but it also has that naïve youthfulness that you leave behind before you hit 20. Usually. Well as an elementary school librarian children's literature is my business (and fortunately for me also my passion). My husband is a big gamer and I play with him. So I guess I qualify as that rare (possibly statistically non-existent) double nerd who both reads children's books and plays an online game.

Cottrell-Boyce has won two major British awards for children's books, the 2004 Carnegie Medal for Millions, which originated as a film script, and the 2012 Guardian Prize for The Unforgotten Coat, which was commissioned by a charity. [3] [4] Personal life [ edit ] I think Cosmic would be enjoyed by just about everyone in the world and in the words of Gob Bluth: “What you need to know… [dramatic pause] Is that it’s magic” or more to point: it is totally cosmic. Read it. This was a strange book, the main character is a 12 yo boy who is very tall, has some facial hair and often gets confused as an adult. The characters are from a small town called Bootle in England, which is somewhere near Liverpool I believe. So I needed to watch a bit of Red Dwarf to practice my Liverpudlian accent before we started. The young lad enters a competition with Drax World, a mobile phone company building a theme park in China. He pretends to be the Dad of one of his class mates, a girl who he has a typical 12 yo relationship with. Said relationship becomes confused when they realise that acting as her dad allows them to go and do things normally not allowed for two 12 year olds. A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart. - Sunday Telegraph
