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
