About this title

Synopsis:

A BOY WITH THE POWER OF A STAR . . .

Lucky thinks he's an ordinary Human boy. But one night, he dreams that the stars are singing to him, and wakes to find an uncontrollable power rising inside him.

Now he's on the run, racing through space, searching for answers. In a galaxy at war, where Humans and Aliens are deadly enemies, the only people who can help him are an Alien starship crew – and an Alien warrior girl, with neon needles in her hair . . .

Review:

"Brilliant . . . a total pageturner. . . gloriously produced" (Jacqueline Wilson)

"Completely absorbing . . . The book is beautiful - lavishly illustrated by Dave McKean, with words and pictures working seamlessly together." (Julia Eccleshare Guardian)

"This is fabulous, high-octane stuff, with an uplifting ending, stunningly illustrated by the brilliant McKean" (Sally Morris Daily Mail)

"Breathlessly paced . . . A powerful story of great scope and ambition, from an expert storyteller. And with these gorgeously deep black-and-white illustrations, the great McKean is on absolutely top form here." (Daniel Hahn The Independent on Sunday)

"A big (and big-hearted) story . . . Said’s child-centred, inclusive text and McKean’s gorgeous images combine to produce a story that will encourage young imaginations to take flight. The final sequence, in particular, is both stunning and uplifting." (Linda Buckley-Archer Guardian)
