Is he the right one to take on the best of the Milky Way's young athletes and, more importantly, to convince the Galaxy that Earth is fit to join their peaceful community? Earth waits with bated breath for the appearance and performance of their reluctant hero. Suitable for ages 9 and above. Find out more at www.hawkwoodbooks.co.uk

Science, Nature & How It Works

"Beauty has nothing to do with it," said Brigitta. "Men carry on the family name and manage the family business. Personally, I think I could do  it better than most boys I know. In fact, I think girls are better than boys in lots of ways. They're cleverer, wiser and they don't fight so much. If it wasn't for men, Germany wouldn't have had this stupid war and millions of people would still be alive. I think girls should run the world." These are the words of Brigitta, forgotten figure in a forgotten family, but her words echo down the years as five children fight to right a distant wrong and bring to light a long hidden secret. Suitable for ages 10 and above.
