Dawn Gray's Cosmic Adventure — David Bell

At least it started out like a normal day...

Dawn Gray is an ordinary thirteen year old living an ordinary life. Unfortunately, her friend Fizz is a bit odd.

Very odd.

Actually she's from another planet. So when the Earth gets towed away, Fizz is there to rescue Dawn, her Mum and her Dad.

What follows is a gripping read, combining all the fantasy of science fiction with engaging characters. A talking bottom (Blinka the Yinka), bobble-hatted aliens and a flying rugby ball called Kevin all lend a hand, but somehow nobody manages to stay on the same planet. And at the end ... well, it's just too absurd for words.

The Dawn Gray books are targeted at girls who are voracious readers and want something with a bit more bite. Targets the often-ignored group of female science fiction readers. Trendy cover illustration and characters allow girls to identify far more with what they're reading. Each volume is a fast-moving story to hook keen readers and a science fiction story that focuses on truly blending science with fiction. Recognizable 'girl next door' characters, combined with fantasy, comic characters are designed to stimulate the imagination.
