George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is a mystery/adventure type of book. I like it because it creates lots of suspense, and that makes you want to read more and more. It's like it hypnotizes you, but in a good way. I like everything in the book - although I wish they met a real alien. That would be cool. If you liked the first book in this series, George's Secret Key to the Universe, you'll LOVE this one!! I really hope the Hawkings write more in the series!

We have a hard time getting our 9 year old to read anything but comics or other illustrated stories. But he loved "George's Secret Key to the Universe", though mostly we read it to him.

He's reading "Cosmic Treasure Hunt" all on his own, and really can't put it down. Since I'm not reading it to him this time I can't tell you much about it, but 5 stars from my young reader.

Excellent book. My nine year-old son ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. And he is notorious for losing interest in a story. I wish there were more like this.

George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is a treasure in itself! It takes readers, young and old, into new and real worlds. Garry Parson's illustrations are lively and original, brilliantly executed and full of interest. They enhance the text but are captivating in their own right.

I read this to my 5 year old along with the previous book in the series. He loved it. The inset pages with astronomical facts were sometimes beyond him especially the speed and distances, so I skimmed those and read what I thought he could understand. The inset facts are not part of the story other than that they pertain to something already discussed. He loves the stories and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I have 2 boys, ages 7 & 10. Even though my boys can read themselves, we found great pleasure in reading this series out loud together. The boys were mesmerized with the adventure side of the story, and I was absolutely impressed by the clear detail in the facts presented about the universe. I highly recommend this book. We love giving it as a gift to their friends. It is a sweet adventure story written by brilliant individuals. I highly recommend both book in the series.

My seven year old loves anything to do with science, but did not love reading. I bought these two books hoping that he would enjoy me reading them to him. He loved them!!! I did too actually. They were so interesting and fun. I wish there were more of them or other books as good.

This is one of soon-to-be three books written by two of the brightest and most fascinating people of our time. Don't miss this! Good reading and stuffed with science, this book grabs kids' attention and keeps it throughout.

My son loves science and he absolutely loved this book. Anything to encourage reading is great!!

I enjoyed reading this, the story gives actual facts, along with the 'asides' of planet information. Excellent for children as well as adults preparing to read "A Briefer History of Time."
