Astrid Spark has an incredible gift—her fingers can fix anything that is broken. More important, her magnetic fingers might just be able to fix the hole in the ozone layer. The tale unfolds with great inventiveness, comedy, and lively illustrations, as Astrid’s friends not only learn about the environment and the fragile ozone, but also build a special vehicle to catapult her into the stratosphere, a bagggoon. Yet will Astrid’s fingers be able to fix something as large as the ozone?

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Astrid Spark, Fixologist (Paperback)
I loved this book immensly.
I was lucky enough to actually met Justin in person at a Fun 4 Kids childrens festival in Warrnambool. He told stories to my group and read parts of Astrid Spark out. He told us the story of his last name. His grandfather was a doctor and in actual fact his real surname is DEATH! So Justin's grandfather was called 'DR DEATH'. So no customers would go to him because of his fearful name. So needing business he changed his name to Dr. D'ath so that his name wasn't so scary! So his grandfather passed it on to him. Justin was great entertainment and I have recommended Astrid to alot of my friends including my Book Club. Everyone is hooked on Justin and always love telling their family and freinds the great DEATH - D'ATH story. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great laugh. P.S. I love that Justin writes with footnotes!
