Presenter and comedian Ed Petrie reads extracts from 'Cosmic' by Frank Cottrell Boyce as part of the 'Bringing Books to Life' series.

He explains why he loves the book and shares how it captured his imagination.

Ed shares the story of how Liam, an extraordinarily tall boy, is launched into space in an ice cream van.

Which, even if you're completely doomed, is still pretty impressive, he thinks.

As he reads, Ed himself is sucked into the adventure. But what will happen to him beyond Earth's orbit, and will he make it home?

This clip is from the series Bringing Books to Life.

Suitable for Key Stage 1 in England, Wales & NI or 2nd Level in Scotland.
