Shortlisted for the 2008 Roald Dahl Funny Prize

A middle grade adventure of friendship, big dreams, and an even bigger rocket, this laugh-out-loud tall tale from bestseller Frank Cottrell-Boyce features a fantastic new cover by illustrator Steven Lenton.

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!

This edition of Cosmic includes bonus material and discussion questions from author Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
