Both my 7- and 9-year-old think this book is great. The scavenger robots are silly. I thought the premise of the book was clever, with a young girl moving to another planet with her family. The planet is so far away that she needs to be put in a sleeping state until she arrives. Unfortunately, she gets hungry...

Overall I'd say this story is not quite as good as Oliver or Pugs, but it's still a good read for younger kids. Also, it's one of the few sci-fi stories suitable for them.

Great fun and a definite possible guided reading for fluent readers in LKS2 or Y2. Fun, hilarious, deeply imaginative and does not take itself seriously at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Didn't enjoy this book as much as Oliver and the Seawigs, but overall it was a solid story filled with excitement.

Wish this book was actually divided into chapters, but it has some truly beautiful language for such a zany book. And the Nameless Horror is so shivery! Well done!
