Then, when he finds himself a kind of pseudo-father, he steals his dad’s book on how to talk to teens, and finds himself in the old man’s shoes. Well as an elementary school librarian children's literature is my business (and fortunately for me also my passion).

Naar de maan is een super schattig boek over de twaalfjarige Liam die met zijn lengte iedereen voor de gek houdt. He manages to convince Dr Drax that the children should have an adult present, but Dr Drax decides to let the children vote on which Dad they want with them by voting on them after a series of challenges.He used to run a Punch and Judy show, earning a fortune in small change, and just like Damian in Millions, he is a Catholic who is fascinated by stories of the saints. Great as in having a sweet and thoughtful and sensitive way that stands him in good stead when he ends up in a rocket coming back from the moon. It's up to me to note books that get stars from major trade publications, and this book has a whopping SIX.

He’s certainly ‘ gifted and talented‘ enough to deceive the competition organisers, Dr Drax, and the other children. It reminded me of Roald Dahl not just because of the humour but because the five fathers and five kids winning a competition to visit some exciting new place and do challenges is highly reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In addition to original scripts, Cottrell Boyce has also adapted novels for the screen and written children's fiction, winning the 2004 Carnegie Medal for his debut, Millions, based on his own screenplay for the film of the same name.But when Liam started competing with the other dads to become the one that went into space, I was hooked again.

Imagine that you can deceive fairground attendants into permitting you onto the most dangerous rollercoasters. Maybe as a child who was always too tall for her age, I identify with Liam more than with many characters. Adults reading will understand pretty early on that Florida’s supposedly perfect father that she's always comparing Liam to is just a figment of her imagination. I've been reading a lot of books with my son lately and this one is the best we've read in a long time by far. This edition of Cosmic includes bonus material and discussion questions from Frank Cottrell Boyce and features fantastic cover artwork from Steven Lenton.Say on his first day at a new secondary school as a “gifted and talented” student when he is initially identified as a teacher.
