George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt

George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt is the second in a series of books co-written by Lucy and Stephen Hawking. The books tell the story of George, whose parents are technophobic conservationists, and Lucy, whose father is a scientist. Together with the help of Cosmos the super intelligent computer Lucy and George explore the universe. Intertwined with the story of Reeper, and evil scientist intent on blowing up the worlds or killing Lucy's father, is a lot of scientific information. This information is extremely accurate and written in easy to understand English. Although the story may be a little contrived at times so that the many different scientific facts can be explained the amazing pictures of space and the fascinating explanation of complicated topics make it a wonderful read.  Any student who is a space buff and wants to really understand what the Drake Equation is or how something could escape from a black hole will love these books.
