Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce - A book based unit for ages 9-11

VIEW IN EDSHED

Liam Digby is an 11-year-old boy, so tall he is easily mistaken for a grown-up, which has its benefits.  Liam is the first 11-year-old to ride the best roller coaster in the world and is even able to test drive a Porsche. 

 

When Liam enters a competition to win a place on a secret amusement arcade, he finds himself in charge of 4 children who have been picked to ride a rocket ship into space. The story is filled with suspense, humour, surprises and lots of plotting in order for Liam and the other children to save themselves.
