Review: The Shooting Star... - When Planet Earth suffers a mysterious heat wave, young reporter Tintin is on the story, and discovers the Earth may shortly be struck by a meteorite. Of course, the Earth survives the landing of the meteorite, and Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy get to go along on the expedition to examine the "shooting star", which has come down in the Arctic Ocean. There is an exciting international race to get to the shooting star, as Tintin rides aboard the Polar Star under the command of good friend Captain Haddock. The race to be first goes down to the final seconds. The shooting star itself will turn out to be a quite mysterious object with strange properties, not least that it won't float forever! How on earth will Tintin and Snowy get back to the Polar Star? Another exciting Tintin cartoon adventure book, highly recommended to young readers, and those still young at heart. The science in this story is of course out of date, but it is still a fun read.
Review: Classic - Love these books from my youth, rebuying in English for my teens.

These books are so sturdy!! I was afraid they were going to be like comic book paper, but they are strong and will last for a long time!
