MY REVIEW
Oliver Lendon is the most kindest author I have ever known.
It’s beyond me how author Oliver Lendon has the most amazing imagination ever, writing splendid science fiction page-turners.
I am hooked into Emily’s Cosmic Journey after reading book 1.
When Book 2 arrived Emily’s Cosmic Journey The Secret of Sparkon I just had to read it. I loved every word, bringing tension for Emily who has launched herself into space in a rocket The Star Chaser, with her robot friend Zippy.
Up in space in Sparkon, Emily will become friends with another girl who has lived in Sparkon by herself.
Zippy, the robot is in trouble, his power is shutting down, he doesn’t seem like Emily’s companion anymore.
Zippy was built by a wicked man who wants Zippy back.
Emily, Zippy and Nova need to fight back, to unlock the unground vault, sealed behind a difficult complex layers of security. And to fight off one man who wants Zippy back.
Soon it’s time for someone from Emily’s earth world to come up into Sparkon and help her fight off the wicked man who won’t stop at anything to get Zippy his robot back.
Will Emily have to say goodbye to her best friend, robot Zippy or will she be able to keep her companion?
Without question I need to read book 3! And as I love the marvellous imagination of author Oliver Lendon I will for ever read anything this incredible author writes!
