If you like astronomy-the Solar System, outer space and black holes-then this is the book for you! George lives a very quiet life with no electricity, no car, no phone and no computers because his parents think science and technology are increasing the pollution of the earth. Imagine his surprise when he meets his next door neighbors, Annie and her scientist father, Eric who have the most sophisticated computer in existence and are using science and technology for good. This computer, Cosmos, can search the farthest reaches of space and open a portal to send people into space. George has the time of his life riding on a comet with Annie. George is fascinated by Eric's explanations of the universe and is horrified when an evil scientist tries to steal Cosmos putting George and Eric in terrible danger. Follow the funny, page-turning adventures of George, Annie and Eric while learning the fascinating story of the universe. Included are side-bars with factual information and many full-color photos of space.
