What’s it about?
The story.
Astrid and Stella adore reading comet books, so naturally they decide to make one of their very own. But turning two big imaginations into a single story is trickier than it looks, and when creative differences flare up, the dynamic duo have to figure out whether they can pull together and take their creation to the next level, or let the whole project fizzle out. With their faithful robot Bobo on hand and the usual supply of snacks and dance breaks, the girls discover that collaboration means listening as well as leading. Sabrina and Eunice Moyle bring their trademark candy-coloured art and non-stop wordplay to the fourth Cosmic Adventure, wrapping a warm lesson about creativity and compromise inside pure galactic silliness. Short, bright and hugely re-readable, it's an ideal early graphic novel for young makers and dreamers, and for any pair of friends who have ever tried to build something together.
