George vive con il suo maiale domestico Fred e due genitori ecoguerrieri che vorrebbero fare del figlio un coltivatore biologico, anche se a lui, più che a terra, piace guardare in cielo per contare le stelle. Un giorno, grazie a una visita non autorizzata di Fred nel giardino accanto, il ragazzo conosce i suoi nuovi vicini: la fantasiosa Annie, il suo papà scienziato Eric, e anche Cosmos, il computer parlante più potente del mondo. Cosmos è in grado di aprire, al centro del salotto, una porta sulla vasta oscurità dello spazio, attraverso la quale Eric mostrerà ai ragazzi le meraviglie dell'universo, come nasce e muore una stella, o come si formano i pianeti. George e Annie viaggeranno su una cometa, ghiacciata come una grande palla di neve sporca, affronteranno tempeste di asteroidi e buchi neri, ma soprattutto dovranno proteggere Cosmos da chi vuole impadronirsi dei suoi poteri... Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
