“Science-hungry fans will warm to this astronomical feast.”  Audiofile
“It is fun to get to know the characters as well as some background information about both the story and the science…Hawking and the other scientists make advanced ideas particularly accessible to children, especially when placed in context by George’s story. A fun and informative read for children and adults.” Children’s Literature
“[A] tale whose message seems to be ‘Wow! Isn’t science great?’” School Library Journal
