COSMIC BY FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE
‘Cosmic’ is about a boy who is too tall to be a boy. Everyone mistakes him for an adult. So, he decides to act like one and has the time of his life …. on a rocket.
In the story, Liam Digby, the tall boy, is the main character. This is my favourite character, because he is humorous and because he changes from child to adult and vice versa smoothly. I also like a girl called Florida, because at one point she pretends to be Liam’s daughter and gives him tips about how to be a true dad.
The parts of the story I enjoyed were when the children and adults trained to be astronauts, because they have lots of fun, and it makes you want to join in. Another part I enjoyed was when the children were in the rocket playing hide and seek and one ‘disappears’.
In the story, the author writes in such a way that the reader understands perfectly what is going on. I like the way he writes because he uses different fonts and sizes to emphasise things and, when writing the speech of a child, it actually sounds like one. He also uses a lot of descriptive techniques.
In conclusion, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a quality, funny read, and all children
