'He has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart' - Sunday Telegraph

A stunning cover by Steven Lenton for the paperback edition of Cosmic, the laugh-out-loud space adventure by bestselling, award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

Liam Digby wanted to see the world, but not quite like this . . . He's just an ordinary twelve-year-old. A very, very TALL ordinary twelve-year-old. Some people even think he's a grown-up.

This is the incredible story of how Liam told some fibs, won a trip to a theme park, made some new friends and sort of, by accident, ended up in space.

A laugh-out-loud adventure of friendship, big dreams and an even bigger rocket, shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

Author Information

Frank Cottrell-Boyce has written many award-winning children’s books including Millions, Framed, Cosmic and Noah’s Gold. He’s also written films - including Millions, and Kensuke’s Kingdom - and helped create big events like the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony. He lives by the sea in Liverpool. On a clear day he can see Blackpool Tower from the end of his road. On cloudy days he worries that it might have disappeared.

Steven Lenton is a multi-award-winning illustrator, originally from Cheshire, now working from his studios in Brighton and London with his dog, Big Eared Bob. He has illustrated many children's books including How To Grow A Unicorn by Rachel Morrisroe, The Taylor Turbochaser by David Baddiel, The Hundred And One Dalmatians adapted by Peter Bently, the Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam series by Tracey Corderoy and the Sainsbury's Prize-winning The Nothing To See Here Hotel series written by Steven Butler. He has illustrated two World Book Day titles and regularly appears at literary festivals and live events across the UK. Steven has his own Draw-along YouTube channel, showing how to draw a range of his characters. He has also written the multi award-nominated young fiction series Genie and Teeny.
