Author of the million selling novel ‘A Brief History of Time’ and Physicist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking are writing a science book for children, which will be ‘a bit like Harry Potter’ but without magic.
The middle grade novel ‘George’s Secret Key to the Universe’ tells the story about computer-driven adventures of a young man. Simon& Schuster will publish the book this fall.
Rubin Pfeffer, senior vice president and publisher of Simon & Schuster Children’s Trade Publishing, said,
We are thrilled that Professor Stephen Hawking has written this one-of-a-kind book for children.
The book narrates the story of a boy named George who befriends a scientist and the scientist’s daughter. George soon ‘finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time and the universe.’
