“Temi’s amazing creative talent shines through with his debut novel and I had the absolute pleasure of coaching him to write this book. Apart from his writing flair, his work ethic and perseverance have made this book possible. It is a pleasure to be able to share this with the world. Lost in Space has a setting and plot that gives children the courage to believe that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Well done, Temi, I am so proud of what you have achieved. Keep soaring high!” – Sophia Ovonlen, Creative Writing Coach, www.creativewritersacademy.com
“What a classic book Temi has written. I was captivated by the emotive and thrilling start, and held on by the suspense towards finding Astronaut, Tim Walker. This book reminds us of the importance of the fundamental family unit, family values, love, compassion and empathy as this world speeds u towards automation where humans foundational ethics and moral conscience. I strongly recommend this book for family time, and to be converted to a BBC or Hollywood movie. Well done Temi.

His imagery is excellently executed; some of it is written better than some of my most experienced authors!” – Kathryn Hall, author and editor – www.cjhall.co.uk
“This is an engrossing story about a young boy named Tom and his siblings searching for their father who they
thought was dead. It is written in the style that each of the children have their own autobiography talking
about their experiences. Tom, the main character of the story, is a curious kind 11-year-old boy who is eager
to know the truth about where his father is. Jake, Tom’s older brother is a geeky 12-year-old boy who loves to
create new machines and gadgets to inspire the world, and finally, Alice and Jane, who are Tom and Jakes’
twin sisters. Together, with the help of their mom and a NASA astronaut they go in search of their father in
space.” - Charles McIntyre, Year 8 Papplewick student.
