Oh yes. Liam's voice is wonderfully wry and hilarious, and he also coined a word that's going into my vocabulary: dadliness. The quality or attributes of being a dad. What does a dad do? He gets you out of a tight spot, and then glares at you disapprovingly until you learn your lesson. He calls you "princess" and remembers your birthday. He pushes you to succeed. He'll do anything to save you. Brown, Mark (23 March 2011). "Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to fly again". The Guardian. London. When I got near to Florida she spread out her arms and grinned at me. I couldn't figure out what she was doing but then she hissed, 'Photo. Take photos. With your phone. It's what dad's do.' And did I mention that author Frank Cottrell Boyce lives in England? I was smitten with the British vocabulary sprinkled throughout. In fact, I frequently found myself reading with a mental British accent, and a big smile on my face, because seriously... doesn't a British accent make everything just a little bit better?

So I turned the key in the ignition. The car made a sound like a cat purring. The man stepped aside and pointed to the bonnet. 'Engineering perfection.' He smiled."It is at the moment, I thought. But in five minutes' time it might well be a load of scrap metal. The thing about Level Two of course is that it has new and unexpected dangers. So you stand a much better chance of being killed. Liam is the kind of student I would love to teach - clever, independent, adventurous, and kind. He is constantly pushing the limit to see how how far his adult appearance can take him (test driving a Porche?), but it's clear to the reader that he isn't really trying to take advantage of people, he just likes to have big adventures. This book follows the story of a 12-year-old boy, Liam, who is often mistaken for an adult due to his height and facial hair. In the beginning, there is some explanation of the adventures this has led to (and the often disastrous outcomes), as he dwells on the time he had taken a Porsche on a test drive with his ‘daughter’ Florida (who is actually a friend from school). The majority of the book, however, is dedicated to their time in space, orbiting the moon in a shuttle that closely resembles an ice-cream bus. I read this book to my year 5 class and they all loved it. It was full of funny situations that Liam had got himself into due to his height that made my class and I laugh out loud. It's written from Liam's point of view which shows the naivety of a young teenager's thought process and how they can get themselves into trouble without even trying. This was especially funny for the boys in the class. Children´s and Young Adult Program – internationales literaturfestival berlin" .

What do you know about space? Can you name any planets, moons, stars or galaxies in our solar system?Liam is only twelve, but his growth spurt hit early. Now taller than most adults and sporting a new batch of stubble, he's mistaken for the new teacher on his first day of grade 7 at a new school. That lasted only so long as it took him to try to incite a walk-out, but it's only the first time he's mistaken as an adult. Since he looks about thirty, Liam and his classmate Florida have great fun doing things that kids can only do with adult supervision - until his dad, a taxi driver, catches him about to test drive a Porsche.
