What to expect
It's one giant leap for all boy-kind in Frank Cottrell Boyce's out-of-this-world story: Cosmic, read aloud by actor Daniel Ryan.
Liam is too big for his boots. And his football strip. And his school blazer. But being super-sized height-wise has its advantages: he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force-defying Cosmic rollercoaster - or to be offered the chance to drive a Porsche. Long-legged Liam makes a giant leap for boy-kind by competing with a group of adults for the chance to go into space. Is Liam the best boy for the job? Sometimes being big isn't all about being a grown-up.
Critics Review
-
Funny, engaging and in the end rather moving.
Guardian -
A writer of comic genius – he has something of Roald Dahl’s magic, but more heart.
Sunday Telegraph -
An exciting, funny story that you don’t want to put down.
First News -
Five-laughs-a-page, fall-off-the-chair funny.
Mail on Sunday
