Cosmic

By: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

Liam has always felt a bit like he's stuck between two worlds. This isprimarily because he's a twelve-year-old kid who looks like he's about thirty. Sometimes it's not so bad, like when his new principal mistakes him for a teacher on the first day of school or when he convinces a car dealer to let him take a Porsche out on a test drive. But mostly it's just frustrating, being a kid trapped in an adult world. And so he decides to flip things around. Liam cons his way onto the first spaceship to take civilians into space, a special flight for a group of kids and an adult chaperone, and he is going as the adult chaperone. It's not long before Liam, along with his friends, is stuck between two worlds again—only this time he's 239,000 miles from home.

Frank Cottrell Boyce, author of Millions and Framed, brings us a funny and touching story of the many ways in which grown-upness is truly wasted on grown-ups.

Delightful story with interesting characters

Elementary school librarian sharing stories with my students. I enjoyed the unlikely story and the friendships that occurred throughout. Reminiscent of Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Great relationships portrayed and the narrator truly brought the personalities to life. Highly recommend this story for entertainment.

One of the best books ever

This book is 1 of the best books I have actually read. I had to read this book for school, And I really didn't wanna start it. I am so happy that my teacher Convince me into reading it, for if I hadn't I really would have a regretted it. I really love this book Because it takes you through all the steps leading to gets in space, to when he comes back. It's shows that no matter how big or how small you are You all mean the same.
