[Caitlyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another brilliant book. Every Planet Omar story is just a delight from beginning to end. In this story, Omar and his friends enter a competition to build the best rocket. However, not everything ends up going to plan!

I absolutely adore the friendship between these children. There's some brilliant moments when Omar realises how powerful friendship is and what he needs to do to help his friends be the best versions of themselves. There's also great advice and support from Omar's parents, Mrs Rogers, Mrs Hutchinson and another unexpected source. The core messages of hard work, love and integrity shine through and continue to make this series one that I constantly recommend to children and adults alike.

Gelezen in het Nederlands (Planeet Omar, Gigantische Raket Explosie). Wat een heerlijk boek. Zeer geschikt voor kinderen van 8/9 of voor oudere kinderen die moeite hebben met lezen. Hoofdpersoon Omar is moslim. Dit komt op kleine, korte en soms grappige momenten aan bod. Moslimkinderen zullen zich herkennen in het boek. In dit boek wordt het goede voorbeeld gegeven: hoe ben je een goede vriend, waarom is het belangrijk om eerlijk te zijn? Meermaals hardop moeten lachen ook. Kortom: aanrader!
