An amiable read about a milkman who trades in his milk float for a spaceship and takes his daughter on a tour of the solar system. They are seeking escape from the dreariness of the English weather, but the climatic catastrophes they encounter on other planets soon convince them of the value of home. The book succeeds as an accessible, and occasionally witty, addition to the 'Read Alone' range, but is otherwise forgettable.
