    If your children enjoyed "George's Secret Key to the Universe", the next book "George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt" (by Stephen Hawking & Lucy Hawking) is out soon - 2nd April here in the UK. My DS6 who loves space couldn't get enough of this book and learned so much from it!

    Thank you! DS6 finished "George's Secret Key to the Universe" a few weeks ago and still talks about it. I hope they will publish it in US soon too.

    OH have you guys seen the Uncle Albert and the Quantum Quest? It is written by a physicist. IT came up on Amazon when I searched for George's Secret key. The library has the first book in the series so I ordered it!

    We're reading the first one now... We'll have to keep our eye out for the sequel, Thanks!

    There are 3 Uncle Albert books out although my library doesn't have book 2 and 3 and Amazon was out of stock for book 2.

    Both DS7 and DS5 have been asking about a sequel, I'm glad to know one is coming! It looks like it will be released in the U.S. on May 19th, in case anyone was wondering.

    We have got our copy of "George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt" from amazon (co.uk) and are almost halfway through - it is brilliant so far and DS6 is loving it!
