The lack of cliff-hanger ending left me with a sense of 'all loose ends tied up' but the story did lend itself to continuation.

I would be really interested to see where the plot goes from here, as this could easily have been a stand-alone story. Overall, despite the story being a little too light on the Sci in Sci-Fi for my tastes, I really enjoyed it. It added some really interesting plot elements. An ingenious twist was to use an energy-based lifeform as a catalyst, instead of some hyper-advanced warp drive machine. The story is written in a 'loose' fashion which doesn't bog the reader down with super-science, but does use advanced science to explain faster-that-light travel etc. This story IS a kids book, let's get that clear up front. I have always been a fan of 'the alien underdog' stories, especially when assisted by 'helpful humans' against 'the bad aliens' - yeah, I know it sounds corny, but these are often the best stories for kids because it teaches them to empathise with other people regardless of how they differ from us. This Review: 9.0/10 Value for Money: Level of Realism: Rereadability: Lose Track of Time:
