Review:
"It is like a Dr Who adventure, inspiring curiosity and amazement. It makes a case for the relevance and fascination of physics, and for the importance of scientists and eco-warriors working together to save the planet. With a happy circularity, the plot depends on a recent discovery: Hawking Radiation, the leaking of particles out of black holes until they destroy themselves" (The Sunday Times)
"Gripping, informative and funny" (The Bookseller)
"A true beginner's guide to A Brief History of Time" (Publishers Weekly)
"A delightful book for young readers" (Independent)
"A terrific page-turner that will be a revelation to every young reader who has ever looked into the skies and wondered" (Education Today)
