Hal Junior: The missing case by Simon Haynes
Bowman Press, 2012. ISBN 978-1-877034-25-1.
(Age: Middle to upper primary) Hal Junior returns in another space
adventure. This time he has to
entertain a visiting VIP's daughter while her father negotiates the
future of Space Station Oberon.
As usual, Hal finds himself in trouble while trying to impress Alex.
Alex has promised to look after her father's briefcase, which holds
important documents pertaining to the space station's future, but
unfortunately this finds its way into the rubbish. Hal and
Alex
become involved with the space station recycling centre and an
aggressive robot that hates to part with his recycling property.
This science fiction story is aimed at middle to upper primary
school
students. As I have stated before Hal Junior books do not have
attractive jackets and I feel that this will influence their appeal
to
children.
