The Adventures of Space and Time
by Karl P.J. Hobbes
Two best friends, one mysterious new boy, and a villain who can switch gravity on and off — welcome to the Faraway School of Discovery.
Space and Time are the most curious pupils at the Faraway School of Discovery. When a quiet, clever boy from Earth named Albert turns up, the three of them stumble onto something enormous: the Space-Time problem — a puzzle that could unravel the whole solar system.
But Doctor Gravity is on the loose, and he can turn gravity up until you can't move a muscle, or down until you float clean off the floor. To stop him and put time back on track, Space, Time and Albert will need real science: how the planets orbit, why the Sun matters, and how time itself actually works.
Perfect for:
- Ages 7-9 — short, fast chapters built for newly independent and reluctant readers
- Curious kids who love space, planets and how things work
- Sneaky STEM learning woven into a proper adventure (no worksheets!)
- A gift that parents and teachers feel good about
- Big, friendly illustrations throughout — lovely as a bedtime read-aloud
