Overview
This six-book paperback set gathers the complete George's Secret Key series, co-written by physicist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking. Follow George, his neighbor Annie, and the super-intelligent computer Cosmos on adventures that open a portal to the far reaches of space. Each story pairs galloping storytelling with real science facts about black holes, the Big Bang, cosmic codes, and time itself. Warm, funny, and endlessly curious, this collection turns big cosmic questions into an accessible, page-turning adventure that young readers will want to revisit again and again.

About the Books
The George's Secret Key series opens with George's Secret Key to the Universe, introducing George, a boy whose family shuns technology until his pet pig breaks through the fence into his scientist neighbor Eric's garden. There George meets Eric's daughter Annie and Cosmos, a supercomputer that can open a doorway to any point in space. From that first cosmic leap, the series follows George and Annie through five more adventures, each tackling a different corner of science: a treasure hunt across the solar system, the origins of the universe in the Big Bang, a code hidden in the laws of nature, a chase across deep space toward a blue moon, and finally a voyage through time itself. Written with input from leading physicists, the books smuggle real astrophysics, cosmology, and mathematics into fast-moving, funny stories that never feel like a lecture. Illustrations and science fact-files break up each novel, turning ideas about gravity, light, and the universe's origins into vivid, memorable images. This paperback set gives kids a start-to-finish arc, from George's first nervous step through Cosmos's portal to the series' final journey through time, building genuine scientific literacy along the way. It's a rare series that entertains as effectively as it explains, making it a favorite for classrooms, science-curious families, and any child who has looked up at the night sky and wondered what's really out there.
