Space Blasters: Suzie Saves the Universe

About this book

Suzie Wen loves inventing things, even if they sometimes go wrong. One day, her Super 3-D TV Gizmo – designed to make her feel like she’s in her favourite TV show Space Blasters – goes very right. Too right, in fact, because she is suddenly actually on board the spaceship, with the crew!

But Suzie has no time to wonder how because they crash-land on Planet Cheddar. Something is very troubling – the alien babbits won’t wake up and their moon has disappeared! And it’s not just Planet Cheddar that’s been affected. The planet Knot is also full of sleeping aliens and has a missing moon.

It’s up to Suzie and the crew, including Captain Jane, Spaceman Jack and Five-Eyed Frank, to work out what’s happened. Can they save the universe? And will Five-Eyed Frank ever trust new crew member Suzie?

Pacy and exciting, this young chapter book is perfect for newly confident readers. There are action-packed black and white illustrations on almost every page, adding to the energy. The authors have included occasional pop-out ‘fun facts’ boxes, and there’s a simple explanation of how to test a theory through observation. The STEM theme is woven into the exciting plot with a light touch, as are the friendship issues.
