Commentary As Books Cosmic

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 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.

Assessment Based On Books Cosmic

Close your eyes. Lean back. Take a breath. Now think. Think about the books you read when you were a child. Think about the ones you loved. The ones you still think about sometimes. The ones that encouraged you to consider the world around you. Got them in your head? Great. Now just pluck out for me the ones that took place in outer space. Go on. I can wait. Whats that? You cant think of any significant childrens books that took place in space? Would The Little Prince count? I guess so, but

All the best books about parenting are written for children.There's a contest and a tour, so a strong homage to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Boyce makes his kid characters okay despite the horrible parenting they receive though, so that's nice.The best thing, though, is that the kids manage to lark about and have fun, and also get stuff done. Liam makes a great dad, although it's clear he'll enjoy going back to being a kid. Whereas Charlie is deserving because despite his unspeakable

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Funny, adventurous and educational. Might have to read this one whole-class.

Loved this book! As usual with Frank C-B it is full of comic set-pieces, that could be little short stories on their own. But it also has emotional depth, and the ending is brilliant. A joy to read, especially out loud.

This story is truly cosmic. Cottrell really has a great sense of humor and writes in a way that made me laugh out loud. The main character Liam is easy to relate to, even if you're not a 12 year old bearded boy. Even though it is not likely that a middle school boy can pose as an adult and get launched into space on a crazy mission, I was so absorbed in the story that I believed it could happen!

This book took a pretty out-there premise and just had so much fun with it. Our narrator/protagonist, Liam, is delightful. It was super sweet to watch him gain an appreciation for and emulate his own father's "dadliness." Also, kind of wild, but this book is quite a bit less out-there now than it was when it came out 10 years ago. I described a character to my husband and he was like, "So basically, that's Elon Musk." Yep.
