This book will sort myth from fact to bring you the real science
behind the search for alien lifeforms. Space expert Joalda Morancy
will take readers on a tour of the Solar System (and beyond) on
board new NASA missions searching for the most likely alien hiding
places - from icy moons of Jupiter to the clouds of Venus. Along
the way kids will find out about: * The robots sent to Mars to look
for Martians * What really goes on at Area 51 * Ways to spot an
advanced alien civilisation (hint - look for dim stars) Readers
will explore a comet, race futuristic spaceships, and discuss what
we would say to aliens when we finally meet them (after "hello!").
They may seem as fanciful as wizards and monsters, but this book
will show that scientists not only believe that aliens exist - but
that it's only a matter of time before we find them.
Bestselling author Elizabeth Wein (Code Name Verity, Rose Under Fire) journeys to a galaxy far, far away to bring readers the harrowing story of the courageous bomber pilots and technicians of Cobalt Squadron!

Small lived in a small house. She had a small room with a small
window and at night she slept in a small bed with a too small

world, everything is small - her shoes, her bed, everything. But
her dreams are big. And Small discovers that when you dream big,
anything - and everything - can happen. Small's Big Dream is the
first picture book from Manjeet Mann, with artwork by exciting
debut illustrator Amanda Quartey. Manjeet Mann is the author of the
Costa Children's Book Award winning The Crossing and critically
acclaimed and Carnegie-shortlisted Run, Rebel.
