Review: Love these books, big and beautiful. I bought it for my 8 year old son. He loves the cartoons and movie. It was a little difficult for him to read but he worked really hard at it. It took him about a month but he read the whole book and loved it.
Review: When Planet Earth suffers a mysterious heat wave, young reporter Tintin is on the story, and discovers the Earth may shortly be struck by a meteorite. Of course, the Earth survives the landing of the meteorite, and Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy get to go along on the expedition to examine the "shooting star", which has come down in the Arctic Ocean. There is an exciting international race to get to the shooting star, as Tintin rides aboard the Polar Star under the command of good friend Captain Haddock. The race to be first goes down to the final seconds. The shooting star itself will turn out to be a quite mysterious object with strange properties, not least that it won't float forever! How on earth will Tintin and Snowy get back to the Polar Star? Another exciting Tintin cartoon adventure book, highly recommended to young readers, and those still young at heart. The science in this story is of course out of date, but it is still a fun read.
