About this deal

The Accidental Stowaway is a great read for older, junior aged children. The characters are engaging and the setting may be a new world for many school-aged children to explore and learn about. It is a fast moving story which is why it is suitable for older junior aged children or could be a great read-aloud by parents to less confident children. I am really enjoying the increasing range of well written children's literature with strong female leads. But I do believe the film is suggesting the mission to Mars is successful... in the sense that at least one of the surviving crewmembers makes it to their destination. Because Penna also provided one more fascinating clue to what might have happened next. Turns out, Stowaway was originally the first film in a trilogy. The second film was meant to be Arctic. And Arctic was originally going to be set on… you guessed it, Mars.

Pretty bleak stuff, and we don’t even know for sure if they make it to Mars! So was Zoe’s sacrifice worth it in the end? Well, when we spoke with Penna, we asked him outright if they complete their mission to Mars, and though he didn’t directly confirm it, he had a lot to say about hope – and how much effort they put into making sure the film ends with that hope. But hiding away becomes less and less easy: her new friends urgently need her help and there’s a mystery that needs solving, all before they reach New York . . . Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...But hiding away becomes less and less her new friends urgently need her help and there's a mystery that needs solving, all before they reach New York . . . This is an intricately woven and skilfully paced story which I’m sure will keep readers aged nine to twelve gripped to the end. Being set in 1910 it also provides many starting points for discussion, about class, the perceived status of women at that time and the working conditions endured by most people. Summary: Full of adventure and fun, I was caught up in the mystery elements of this story, and I really wanted to take a trip on a steamship by the end!

This is a great story for feisty young females, who wish to make their mark on the world. True escapism, filled with the trials of friendships, secrets and adventure.

The setting is what excites me most . It helps get me started when I ’m think ing about writing a new book . It’s a brilliant way to create atmosphere , and can make a story unique and intriguing .

The first signs that something isn’t quite right appears during takeoff as the engines are reported to be down on power. Little do the crew know but this is because they’re carrying a whole extra person on board. The only thing I could fault it for is being a bit predictable, although I am glad everything turned out the way it did so I can’t really complain. But perhaps a surprise would have been nice!
