Astrid Spark has an incredible gift - her fingers can fix anything that's broken. Dr Hu thinks she can even fix the hole in the ozone layer, so he invents a bagggoon (with three Gs for extra lift) to carry her into the stratosphere. But can Astrid really save the planet? Why do her friends Lukas and Kia-Jane want her to kiss them? And who invited that very rude galah? What kids say about Justin D'Ath's books: 'Your books are funny, weird and great.' Megan 'They have silly words, craziness and mad adventures.' Haysam 'Justin D'Ath rules!' Sarah What adults say about Justin D'Ath's books: 'Funny, mind-stretching and highly improbable ...rattle along at a great rate.' Magpies

'The girl with the incredible magnetic fingers is back ... D'Ath salts the caper with enough scientific trivia to engage the curious, all the while tickling the funny bone ... The cliff-hanger ending is both clever and funny.' MIKE SHUTTLEWORTH, SUNDAY AGE'Kids will love the silliness, the inventiveness and the sheer fun of this book.' SALLY MURPHY, aussiereviews.com'This book would be a great gift to give or to receive. I would spend my pocket money on it ... definitely worth getting in trouble for reading it when you're meant to be doing other things.' EMILY, AGE 10, YARA website
