Sockboy thought, "I'm tired of these many rules and having to worry." Wouldn't it be better to go somewhere where none of these problems existed? I will run away to the sky where courageous men have explored and are exploring. I will dance around the rings of Saturn and visit one of the many moons of Jupiter. He thought, "There could be life out there if only we knew where to look." While sitting in the void, he realises that there is only him. It then occurred to him that not one of these places would ever be better than the earth.

Wow, that is all I can say after reading this book. I love how Karl "Ultrakarl" Cottle always approaches his books. I'm yet to see an author who tackles social vices more mildly yet achieves big. Sockboy in Space is an enthralling book for any child.

I'm so glad to have read all the books in this series. I love how Karl introduced this book by giving his audience a lecture about space and how worldly life could be there. Sockboy, just like most children, thought he could run away from his problems rather than face them. I love how he started to appreciate the things life gave him when he realised it was not always greener on the other side.

There wasn't anything negative to write about this book. After reading Karl's first work, I have consistently rated him highly in writing and illustrating children's books, and like always, he didn't disappoint in this book. I can't see anything stopping me from rating this book 4 out of 4 stars. Children who read this book will benefit morally, but their knowledge of space and its planets will also broaden. Karl has a way of addressing children's societal issues with a storyline you won't expect. His way of creating suspense and the surprises he offers to his readers is something that any good writer should look to emulate.

Sockboy in Space will primarily appeal to children who are space enthusiasts. I hope to see another book in this fascinating series. It was exceptionally edited; that's to say, I saw no errors while reading.

This is a children's book but I would like to read it. I would like to read about how Sockboy went to space and the adventures he had. Thanks for this review!

This is a suspenseful story. Even running to the sky is not an option, there will still be problems. Great review..

[Hyfr Zack]

I've always wanted to read space fantasy. According to the reviews, the book appears to be entertaining. I'd like to give it a shot.

[Judy O]

I had a good laugh while reading this review. I would like to read this book to find out if Sockboy's decision to go to space was worth it afterall.

Children who read this book will benefit morally, but their knowledge of space and its planets will also broaden. A wonderful children’s book.

Just like Sockboy, I had thought of a way to escape all problems on earth when I a child. It was one of my wildest dreams. Anyway, I had my imagination to myself, so it didn't hurt to just dream. I'm glad that this book encompasses this childhood dream of mine. I look forward to reading the while series.

From the title, it is clear that this is a children's book, and I believe they would learn a lot from it. This book has a very interesting plot. Good job on the review.

[De law]

I love her approach to writing. She would first of all draw children's attention by talking about something fascinating in this case she talked about space.

[Prisallen]

I appreciate the fact that the book teaches about space and the planets as well as teaches children not to run away from their problems. I loved your informative and interesting review. Good job!

[Summer Henrietta]

The storyline of this book is engaging. But, I am curious. Why is Sockboy called Sockboy?
Is there a special reason to it?
Your review was insightful.
Kudos!

Children's books are always fun and educative. There's always a story that's really fascinating that would appeal to the children.
