Was begged to purchase this book. It is very difficult to find books for boys. So when I was pestered about this book I had no other choice but to buy it. I am always looking for other books to hold his interest. Great buy!

I read this book before sharing it with my children...and I learned a lot! It's a beautiful book with an eye-catching cover and fantastic illustrations. A very likable adult character explains scientific concepts to a child character, so it's easy for the reader to understand. More information is in sidebars, so the reader can choose whether to delve deeper into the subject.
I've since shared this book with my children. They did not find the 'lessons' tedious; they found them fascinating. The adventure is gripping. The message is a good one. I applaud Stephen and Lucy Hawking for sharing their knowledge and theories with a broader audience.
A child whose idea of an interesting story is "Captain Underpants" may not appreciate this book. It's intelligent and well-written, and it takes some thought to absorb the science in the first few chapters and apply it to what happens in the interstellar adventure. For me, that's not a bad thing; that's part of what makes this book great! Middle-schoolers, and younger children who read at a higher level, will enjoy this story.

This book is intriguing, combining fact with fiction, in a very interesting way.
After reading the story, my son reread the factual pages and looked at the photographs seriously, asking numerous questions. It opens up a new world of interesting science to young scientists.

The story is about a boy named George and a girl named Annie. There is a very scientific computer called Cosmos. What happened was that Annie's father fell into a black hole and Cosmos and George tried to save him.
I think George's Secret Key to the Universe is a fabulous book because I like space and this book is all about space. This book is non-fiction and fiction book because half way through, there are real pictures of space and scientific information. The book is also full of adventures.
Steven Hawking is a famous scientist and he wrote this book with his daughter Lucy. I think if you like space, you will love this book.

My 3.5 year old son is completely hooked on this fabulous book! We're plowing through it in just a few nights and he doesn't want it to end. I was floored when after the first night of my husband reading it to him he ran up to me excitedly the next morning and said "Mama, I know how stars are birthed, wanna hear about it?" And proceeded to give me a very sweet and stunningly accurate lecture on the topic!
I wish there were more books like this out there -- smart, not sassy and rude, fun loving, and adventurous!
