George’s Secret Key to the Universe

GEORGE’S SECRET KEY TO THE UNIVERSE is written by Professor Stephen Hawking with his daughter, Lucy.

Stephen Hawking is a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge and a leading theoretical physicist in the world. He also wrote the multi-million worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time.

I picked up this book because I like science. Astronomy is one of my favourite subjects. The book mixes fiction and facts giving readers an exciting adventure story. George is a young boy who likes technology and wants a computer more than anything else. But his parents do not like modern inventions and want to live a simpler life. They wash their clothes by hand, use candles in place of electricity, and so on. All George has for himself is his pet pig, Freddy.
