Book Synopsis

Celebrate twenty years of The Boy in this highly anticipated new adventure from the internationally bestselling picture book creator of Lost and Found Oliver Jeffers!

Once there was a boy who would often play hide-and-seek with his friends the star and the penguin. The star was always easy to find, but one day it went missing. So, the boy radioed the Martian for help and soon found himself on an exciting spaceship rescue mission to the North Pole! But there, he discovered that he wasn’t the only one who had always dreamed of having a star as a friend…

The out-of-this-world, long-awaited sequel to the much-loved Boy stories, loved all around the world – now introducing a brand-new character!

Our Review Panel says...

Twenty years after the publication of Oliver Jeffers‘ much-loved debut picture book How To Catch a Star, a new picturebook has landed on our shelves to take us back into worlds of boys, penguins and stars – bringing together everything that has gone before and moving us on to new resolutions.

The boy, the penguin and the star play hide and seek, but the hiding goes wrong and the friends end up unable to find each other (a familiar scenario to any children who have got too much into a game of hide and seek before!). Unable to find the star, the others seek help from a Martian friend to find him.

Meanwhile, a girl who longs for a star strikes lucky when one washes up on the shore in a throwback to How to Catch a Star, which saw the boy in a similar scene. This time though, a joyful conclusion emerges that enables the boy and the girl to both gain a happy outcome.

The reassuring watercolour artwork, familiar characters and scenarios, warm tone and freshness of a new story arc come together to bring a not-to-be-missed treat for fans of Oliver Jeffers.
