The Shooting Star: The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series (The Adventures of Tintin) Paperback – 26 Sept. 2012

Delivered on time. Perfect state. Excellent to encourage children to read.

Tintin's second adventure with Captain Haddock has them sailing to the Arctic to claim a large chunk of meteorite before their enemies, who try devious lying to delay them. Gets to be a real page turner near the end, then has a touch of surrealism. This was the first Tintin book I read, then I couldn't get enough of them when I was 12. A good place to start if you've never read Herge'. The Thompsons are not on this trip, and Professor Calculus hasn't met our hero yet. It must be good: I still enjoyed it after 54 years!

Bought as present for grown up son who's lost all his original TinTin books.....rebuilding his collection

As a child, I remember going to the library and checking out the Tintin books and being drawn into the adventure, wishing I could be Tintin.Now in my late 20's, I have decided to purchase all the Tintin books so that when my 2 year old is a bit older, I can share the world of Tintin with him :-D

Tin Tin comes to the rescue again when he has to race a rival boat to a meteorite that has landed in the ocean. A great story for those who love the Tin Tin comics.

much appreciated

Brilliant book, for children and parents!

Another one added to my collection. Still a great read.
