Suzy Orbit, Astronaut

Quantity

A humorous, inspirational picture book that shows how determination and resourcefulness can save the day!

When Suzy Orbit and her boss, Captain Gizmo, hear that aliens have been spotted near their space station, they must act fast! But Captain Gizmo has no batteries for his space pod, his swanky new spacesuit is far too small, and there’s no chance of ordering a meteor blaster in time.

Luckily, Suzy Orbit – astronaut and engineer extraordinaire – is on hand with her spanner and brilliant inventing skills. Suzy knows that a bit of quick thinking and ingenuity are even better than ordering new stuff. . . if only Captain Gizmo will listen!

A story about girl power, resourcefulness and outer space, perfect for children aged 3-6.
