This is just what it looks like and that is a good thing. This is for a young reader a great introduction to science fiction. A great read with enough real science for a young reader to learn something and enough pure speculation to make it fun. Simple illustrations help clarify everything going on. I would totally recommend this to a young reader.

I like this book because it has lots of facts in the book that I didn't know before.
