PrizesThe third out-of-this-world adventure from Lucy Hawking and Professor Stephen Hawking - the most famous science genius in the Universe! Now in paperback. Reviews"Even without science the story stands up well, with plenty of humour, both verbal and slapstick, and copious illustrations. It does rely on an element of fantasy, such as the world's second most powerful nano supercomputer disguised as a hamster!" The School Librarian
