My favorite book is very modern, but it is about space travel. It is called "George and the Treasures of the Universe". It tells about the adventures of two best friends, George and Annie, the children of scientists. Guys on vacation travel on the solar system, on different planets with the help of the supercomputer of the Cosmos.
Of course, parents did not allow children to go into space without permission. After all, on different planets, a lot of dangers lie in wait for them: from excessive gravity and dust storms to meeting with the escaped criminal. But Annie and George really wanted to fix the robot Homer, who worked on Mars and broke. Therefore, they climbed on a risky journey with missile bags on their backs.
The boy Emmett, whose parents work in Silicon Valley, helped them "quietly" repair the computer Cosmos. The boy was malicious, but talented.
It's good that parents learn in the adventure of children on time, and it will end safely.
My favorite book is full of fun and humor, it has many colorful characters. For example, the space hamster Busik or Mabel's grandmother, deaf, but brave. I like that it describes people who are brave, inquisitive, friendly and enthusiastic about their business. Back in "George and the Treasures of the Universe" many interesting and informative stories about the cosmos, about the solar system, space ships and robots, astronauts and all that. I just could not tear myself away from this book, how much she impressed me.
