Space Gum
Author(s): Tania Roxborogh
Dop July 2008, Dunedin softcover children 9 - 12 years Carl just doesn't get it - he's always in Mum's bad books. If only she could lighten up and see the humour in the practical jokes he and Dad play on one another. Nothing's sacred when they're dreaming up pranks. But Carl's world is turned upside down when his father introduces him to an elusive ex-NASA scientist, who gives Carl a peculiar gift - one that contains a secret. What does Carl have that could possibly be so valuable? A page-turning novel about science and subterfuge and one boy's problem-solving skills put to the test.
