Description
Archie Arbuckle is determined to help great-grandpa Wellington fulfil his life ambition – to make contact with extra-terrestrials.
Archie, the unlikely hero and child who never gets picked for anything, is meanwhile desperate to be chosen to help in a new science experiment soon to take place at his school - growing rocket from seeds that had been in space.
As great-grandpa brings Archie on a whirlwind tour of the wonders of the cosmos, Archie’s shaky confidence begins to grow as he learns he too can ‘be a star and shine bright’.
On their adventures, Archie learns some important life lessons as he helps great-grandpa to cope with the problems of old age and dementia.
Despite these set-backs though, the two do eventually manage to find a life-form – but it’s not quite what they had bargained for…
The Rocket Science Experiment of 2016 caught the imagination of children across the UK as thousands of schools took part, growing rocket from seeds that had been in space. Part of the Space Seed Adventure series, Escapades of a Space Gazer is set around this experiment, following Archie’s backstory before he appears in Space Salad.
Perfect for children aged 7 to 12, this book will open their minds to the wonders of space and science through fiction.
