Synopsis

George and Annie are off on another cosmic adventure to figure out why strange things are happening on Earth in the fourth book of the George’s Secret Key series from Stephen and Lucy Hawking.

George and his best friend Annie haven’t had any space adventures for a while and they’re missing the excitement. But not for long, because seriously strange things have started happening.

Banks are handing out free money, supermarkets aren’t able to charge for their products so people are getting free food, and aircrafts are refusing to fly. It looks like the world’s biggest and best computers have all been hacked. And no one knows why…

It’s up to George and Annie to travel further into space than ever before in order to find out what—or who—is behind it.

Навіть не знаю, в кого було більше радості від нової зустірчі з Джорджем — у сина чи в мене. Й не лише від того що ми долучилися до чергових пригод хлопця та його подружки Енні, а й тому що з книг цієї серії (а це вже четверта частина!) дізнаєшся про стільки дивовижних наукових речей, пояснених дост......more

Goodreads review by Mary on July 18, 2017

It's as if there are two completely different books - one for third-graders and one for middle-schoolers. The people that can understand the nonfiction sections will find the fiction ridiculous. And the people that enjoy the fiction will be stymied by the nonfiction.......more

Goodreads review by Vityska on April 20, 2018

Уявіть собі, що банкомати, авіакаси, термінали в супермаркетах і всі-всі електронні пристрої геть збожеволіли. Уявіть, що хтось зумів хакнути абсолютно всі комп’ютерні мережі на світі. Уявість світ, в якому нема не те що Інтернету, а й навіть електрики. А містом бігають банди мародерів і неідентифік......more

Goodreads review by Книжни on October 07, 2017

Колкото и да не ни се иска, случва се заради недостатъчен интерес от страна на читателите някоя книжна поредица да не бъде издадена докрай. Много се боях, че такава съдба може да е застигнала дори и уникалната серия за Джордж на Луси и Стивън Хокинг. Към тези мрачни мисли ме насочваше факта, че сайт......more
