Interstellar shenanigans from the inspired pen of the great Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Cosmic tells the side-splitting story of long-legged Liam and his quest to be the first child in space.
'He has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph
A stunning cover by Steven Lenton for the paperback edition of Cosmic, the laugh-out-loud space adventure by bestselling, award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
Liam Digby wanted to see the world, but not quite like this . . . He's just an ordinary twelve-year-old. A very, very TALL ordinary twelve-year-old. Some people even think he's a grown-up.
This is the incredible story of how Liam told some fibs, won a trip to a theme park, made some new friends and sort of, by accident, ended up in space.
A laugh-out-loud adventure of friendship, big dreams and an even bigger rocket, shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
