With a happy circularity, the plot depends on a recent discovery: Hawking Radiation, the leaking of particles out of black holes until they destroy themselves * The Sunday Times *
Gripping, informative and funny * The Bookseller *
A true beginner’s guide to A Brief History of Time * Publishers Weekly *
A delightful book for young readers * Independent *
A terrific page-turner that will be a revelation to every young reader who has ever looked into the skies and wondered * Education Today *
