|summary=The Rubik Cube is not only a great toy, but also a great brand. Why should Lego have all the fun? To wit Rubik have recently branched out into creating variations of their famous puzzle, but also into other formats including books. ''Rubik's Quest: Mission Invent'' by John Farndon is one of a new series of fun puzzle books designed for kids that combine a story with improving your knowledge; in this case, in science. Can science be fun? The answer is yes, but perhaps ''Mission Invent'' is not the best example of this.

|summary=There's always a danger in putting a definitive article in the name of a children's non-fiction book title. Luckily enough this volume does go almost as far as making itself definitive, with a lot of numbers and facts, yet a delivery that makes all of those and the theories and terminology it uses all palatable to the browser, and still manages to throw in the redundant unfunny cartoons at the side. In using an intelligent system of going through all the subjects under the broad subject of space, with none of the tables, box-outs and so on other editors choose, this proves one of the more sober, measured and successful books of its kind.
