Age Group: 9 - 12 Years

Description:

Twelve-year-old Liam Digby has an unusual problem: he's so absurdly tall, and so freshly stubbled, that everyone keeps mistaking him for a grown-up. His new headteacher thinks he's a teacher. A car dealer happily hands him the keys to a Porsche. Why not have a bit of fun with it? When Liam and his classmate Florida pretend to be father and daughter to enter a top-secret competition for the world's most spectacular theme park, they don't quite expect what happens next: they win an actual trip into outer space, aboard a real rocket called Infinite Possibility, with Liam as the only "adult" in charge of four kids. Then things go a little wrong. Now somewhere beyond Earth orbit and 239,000 miles from home, Liam must work out how to be the dad these kids need. A warm, witty, gloriously inventive Carnegie-shortlisted adventure from the brilliant Frank Cottrell Boyce.
