Cosmic: It's One Giant Leap for Boy-Kind

by Frank Cottrell Boyce   |  Ages 10+
RM31.00 MYR
Cosmic: It's One Giant Leap for Boy-Kind
Cosmic: It's One Giant Leap for Boy-Kind

Humorous space adventure challenges perceptions of maturity.

If you've ever felt out of place or too 'different' compared to your peers, 'Cosmic' will resonate with you. Liam's larger-than-life stature lands him in a hilariously heartwarming misadventure that's as much about space travel as it is about navigating the tricky terrain of growing up. Frank Cottrell Boyce takes a wacky premise and turns it into a touching exploration of self-identity and the meaning of maturity. This book might just tickle your funny bone while tugging at your heartstrings.

Description

It's one giant leap for all boy-kind in Frank Cottrell Boyce's out-of-this-world Cosmic. Liam is too big for his boots. And his football strip. And his school blazer. But being super-sized height-wise has its perks – he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force-defying Cosmic rollercoaster – or to 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. This edition of Cosmic includes bonus material and discussion questions from Frank Cottrell Boyce and features fantastic cover artwork from Steven Lenton.
