Summary

Winner of the Gold Nestle Smarties Book Prize, Philip Reeve received five starred reviews for Larklight. The extraordinary adventure of that book continues in Starcross, as Art and Myrtle receive an ominous warning from an ancient superhuman (their mum). The solar system is on the brink of invasion - from highly intelligent hats from the future!

Critic reviews

"A romp that lives up to the standard set by Larklight, its wildly imaginative predecessor. Huzzah!" ( Kirkus Reviews)

Spiffing and fun. Huzzah!

I know these are meant for kids but I think they work just as well for adults; proper way out stories you loved to hear as a kid but beautifully written and very tongue-in-cheek. You really get the feeling that the author had a lot of fun writing these books. The narration is perfect and you can't help but laugh.
