What happens when you have an active wormhole in your garage? Hawk finds out when he invites the new girl Celeste to the space club. The Black Hole Radio summons them down the hyperspace highway…. all the way to Pooponic's moon, Bilaluna, which is inhabited by giant cyborg insects! Mutated Earth insects – but how did they get there? And how can they stop the climate disaster that forced them to leave Pooponic from destroying their beautiful new home on Bilaluna?

This was a fun and quirky read. Filled with interesting sci-fi facts and antics, ‘The Black Hole’ series brings space travel and its multitude of possibilities to a young audience.

I particularly enjoyed the second book in the series because of the educational aspects, which teach young readers bout the importance of pollination and investing in renewable energy sources. Can’t beat a book with a good message.

I also think that the inclusion of new girl ‘Celeste’ was a fantastic choice as she is an Asperger’s character; it’s not only great to see a minority figure in a middle grade story, but the fact that she’s cast as the hero and her autism traits are explored in such a positive way… was definitely encouraging to read.

Looking forward to see where Birdgenaw sends the crew next!

What a great book to teach children important insects!

I love Celeste, with has Asperger's, who helps her new friends when they end up on Pooponic's moon. Hawk and Matt show how they are willing to be her friend and accept her as she is.

It's an easy read and the perfect book for children of all children.
