"Dr Maggie's Grand Tour of the Solar System" by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock (Buster Books)

Dr Maggie is an effervescent and energetic spokesperson for all things spacey, and the most perfect person to take us on a guided tour across our own backyard in space, the fabulous solar system!

In "Dr Maggie's Grand Tour of the Solar System" by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, we're in for a journey spanning the vastness of space to take a look at our amazing Sun, and some of our planetary neighbours.

With a fantastic mix of space science and fantasy, it's time to climb on board Dr Maggie's special spaceship to take a closer look at the fabulous valleys and mountains of mars, or perhaps the gaseous acidity of Venus. We even go all out for a long, long journey to visit micro-planet Pluto, frozen in the icy wastes of the outer reaches of the solar system itself.

But you'll also learn the science behind the knowledge, and how space scientists have built probes, satellites and even robotic rovers to take amazing photographs and images of the galaxy and our neighbouring planets in super-fine detail.

Let's take a look inside this truly fab book:

What is a solar system? It all begins with a shining star...

We love the use of language in this book, brimming with enthusiasm and energy just like Dr Maggie herself!

To Ganymede and Io, you bet we've seen 'em all...!

Absorbing, fascinating space science served up in a truly fabulous and enthusiastic way.

Sum this book up in a sentence: A nigh-on essential guide for young space fans, particularly if they've been keeping up with Dr Maggie's fab appearances on CBeebies and The Sky at Night.
