Hope and the Magic Martian

摘要

With highly descriptive language that draws its young readers into the real world coupled with imaginative ideas - travel by snowball, for example - brought to life by Louise Rouse's occasional, cartoon-like illustrations, this lively little book is a super text for years 7 and upwards. With some lovely turns of phrase and plays on words, such as "I can't believe finding hope could be so easy" (Martian to Hope), the book keeps the reader hooked on its own literary merit.
