Honestly I think he went and sat in the hallway of some random World of Warcraft convention and wrote down a few terms and phrases then stuck them into his limited model of video games. But being super-sized height-wise has its advantages: he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force-defying Cosmic rollercoaster - or to be offered the chance to drive a Porsche. The young lad enters a competition with Drax World, a mobile phone company building a theme park in China.

All of the main characters, but especially Liam and Florida, learn what "dadliness" is really all about.As this is mostly Liam’s reflection of the events that led him to be in charge of a space shuttle, there is a bit of jumping between ‘present-day Liam’ talking about his view of the Earth, and the Liam of the past, in the months leading up to the adventure. 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. Boyce makes his kid characters okay despite the horrible parenting they receive though, so that's nice.

It reminded me of Roald Dahl not just because of the humour but because the five fathers and five kids winning a competition to visit some exciting new place and do challenges is highly reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was a breath of fresh air, lightening my week, and some of the irreverence transferred to my own life - there's nothing better than the ability to laugh at the absurdities of our own lives. The difference of course being that in Big the boy can go back to looking like a kid and in Cosmic Liam will just have to grow into his.Comic and cosmic, this is a roller coaster adventure that takes Liam Digby up into space with a handful of other children and their parents.
