There is some real science and maths in here, too (Fibonacci sequence, golden ratio, how astronauts got to the toilet) as well as some big sci-fi ideas. This book introduces physics and maths to a child audience through a really exciting and moving story. As an adult I enjoyed spotting the facts in a work of fiction, it helped the plausability of the story. To get away from the noise and chaos of his home life, Jamie goes for a walk and finds himself at a seemingly abandoned observatory.

Shortlisted for the North Somerset Teachers’ Book Award, the Haringey Children’s Book Award and the Bolton Children’s Fiction Award.

Couple this with the the scientific background, alien encounters and a down-to-earth lead character and you can see why this book is a winner.

Christopher Edge grew up in Manchester where he spent most of his childhood in the local library dreaming up stories, but now lives in Gloucestershire where he spends most of his time in the local library dreaming up stories. What’s more, I’m a bit of a science and maths geek, so when I saw this book at the local library I couldn’t resist picking it up.
