    Calling all George Fans! I just saw that George and the Big Bang, from the Hawkings was released on Aug 1 in the UK.

    It doesn't appear to be in the states yet, neither Amazon or Barnes and Noble have it. I'm rather irked, yet excited, better not tell DS till its released, although he passed that marshmallow test he will not want to wait for a book! This is the 5th book we have been waiting to be released in the fall here, don't publishers think kids read over the summer!

    Oh thank you. Please let us know when it's out. My DS has read those books several times.

    Thanks for the tip! I see there are a few copies available on Amazon, shipping mainly from Europe, if you're desperate.

    We got our copy from the NY distributor today. (Have I mentioned that I have little patience? Especially for things I've been told are available but that I cannot have?) wink DS7 is tearing through it. I'll get him to give a review soon. But considering he chose the book over the DS, and read up to chapter 10 in about an hour, I'm guessing he likes it.

    If you don't want to wait for the US release, the UK Book Depository site has free worldwide shipping. It's US$17.47.
