Captain Goldilocks is on a mission to find a new planet that’s just as good as Earth!
But everywhere she lands is too cold or too hot, too slimy or too scary, too wobbly or too full-of-aliens.
Will she ever find a planet that’s just right? An interstellar adventure with a timely environmental messgage from award-winning author Peter Bently.
Goldilocks in Space is the first in a new series of futuristic fairy tales, set in outer space. Featuring favourite fairy tale characters as super-cool astronauts leading their own missions and learning about cosmology along the way, this book is a must for little space fans!
