5.0 out of 5 stars Sequels and Science......what a joy!!, April 1, 2002

This review is from: Stowaway to the Mushroom Planet (Mushroom Planet Series Book 2) (Paperback)

This book follows the wonderful story set down by Cameron in her first book of the series. As a science teacher, I am still captivated by the wonderful work and research that went into the book in light of the volume of space knowledge known at that time. A wonderful flight to worlds unseen where you can relax with well developed characters and charming guests as well. A book that will grab you by your imagination and never let go! Well worth the read, well worth a reasonable price to own the series. A book I look forward to reading again.
I would love to see the entire series reprinted in paperback in order to have extra copies of it.

I read this book when I was young and remembered it when I visited the children's section of a library recently. I decided to buy a copy to reread it. I was not disappointed! It is still a great read for young poeple!

This review is from: Stowaway to the Mushroom Planet (Mushroom Planet Series Book 2) (Paperback)

My son and I don't get the chance to read together as often as we did when he was younger. He is now 9 and likes to read on his own, and I have younger ones to tend to also. But when we do read together, it is really special and this one was a favorite. It is the second in the series (first is Journey to the Mushroom Planet, I think). We loved them both. Very creative and some suspense. Long descriptions and some more complex words make it ideal for a parent to read aloud, unless the child is older and a truly avid reader. We will try the third book, though we've heard the first two are the best. Definitely read the first two.
