Customer Reviews

Doesn't get any better than these books...

My seven year old loves anything to do with science, but did not love reading. I bought these two books hoping that he would enjoy me reading them to him. He loved them!!! I did too actually. They were so interesting and fun. I wish there were more of them or other books as good.

George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt by Lucy & Stephen Hawking

Excellent book. My nine year-old son ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. And he is notorious for losing interest in a story. I wish there were more like this.

A kid's review for kids

George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is a mystery/adventure type of book. I like it because it creates lots of suspense, and that makes you want to read more and more. It's like it hypnotizes you, but in a good way. I like everything in the book - although I wish they met a real alien. That would be cool. If you liked the first book in this series, George's Secret Key to the Universe, you'll LOVE this one!! I really hope the Hawkings write more in the series!

A Brilliant Book

George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is a treasure in itself! It takes readers, young and old, into new and real worlds. Garry Parson's illustrations are lively and original, brilliantly executed and full of interest. They enhance the text but are captivating in their own right.

Completely engrossing for my 9 year old

We have a hard time getting our 9 year old to read anything but comics or other illustrated stories. But he loved "George's Secret Key to the Universe", though mostly we read it to him. He's reading "Cosmic Treasure Hunt" all on his own, and really can't put it down. Since I'm not reading it to him this time I can't tell you much about it, but 5 stars from my young reader.
