Breezereads and Waterstones present:
A Cosmic evening with Frank Cottrell Boyce

Where: Waterstones, 93-97 Albion Street, Leeds, Tel: 244 4588
When: Friday 27th June at 6.00pm

Come along and meet bestselling, award winning author (Millions and Framed) and screenplay writer, Frank Cottrell Boyce as he talks about his great new novel for young people, Cosmic:

Liam is too big for his boots, his football strip, and his school blazer. But being super-sized height-wise has its advantages: he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force defying cosmic rollercoaster or be offered the chance to drive a Porsche. Long-legged Liam makes a giant leap for boy-kind by competing with a group of adults for the chance to go into space. Is Liam the best boy for the job? Sometimes being big isn't all about being a grown-up.


Find out about Frank’s life as a writer of award winning children’s books and acclaimed films such as Welcome to Sarajevo, Millions, Hilary and Jackie, 24 Hour Party People and a Cock and Bull Story.

The event is free and everyone is welcome.
