Aquila

Tom and Geoff are at the bottom of the class until they find Aquila on a field trip. Aquila is a spaceship - an invisible Roman spaceship. As Tom and Geoff learn to fly it, they find themselves delving into physics, Latin, geography and a great deal more. Better still, they see the world and have the time of their lives!

ANDREW NORRISS was born in 1947, went to Trinity College, Dublin and then became a schoolteacher, because a woman called Mrs Morrison told him to. In 1982, another woman told him he should be a writer, so he did that instead. He lives in a thatched cottage in a little Hampshire village, with a loving wife and two children, and life would be pretty near perfect if he could just get rid of the moles on the lawn, and his son didn't leave marmalade dribbling down the side of the jar.
