Lucy Hawking

Con La clave secreta del Universo el genial Stephen Hawking y su hija Lucy han conseguido acercar a los pequeños -y no tan pequeños- las maravillas y los secretos del Universo, y demostrarnos que la ciencia tambien puede ser divertida y apasionante. A George nada le gusta mas en el mundo que mirar las estrellas; tambien le encantaria tener un ordenador con el que navegar y conocer mas sobre el Universo, pero sabe que eso es mision imposible. En casa, sus padres son tan ecologistas que no quieren ni oir hablar del progreso y la ciencia. Pero lo que ellos no saben es que el enemigo esta muy cerca. Acaba de llegar un nuevo vecino que, ¡horror!, es un eminente cientifico, y eso, para los padres de George, solo significa una cosa: peligro. Si hubieran imaginado lo que le esperaba a su hijo, nunca le habrian dejado entrar en su casa...Reseña:Se juntan el asombro de un niño con la agudeza intelectual de un genio.The Sunday Times
