You might think that this story is going to be an intergalactic
adventure filled with UFOs, black holes, killer robots and some
very foul-smelling aliens. And you'd be right.
But it's mostly about a boy called Jake, his embarrassing dad,
and the mind-boggling question ... are we really alone in the universe?
Funny, easy to read and hugely likeable, Space Oddity
combines science, comedy and adventure for ages 7 and up.
A new, younger story from award-winning writer Christopher
Edge, author of The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day.
Came out of The Big Idea Competition, from a story entry
by scientist Dr Sarah Ryan.
Cover and inside illustrations by Ben Mantle (The
Land of Roar and I, Cosmo).
