A fast-paced, hilariously funny adventure set in a vivid and imaginative sci-fi universe
Young readers aged 5+ will be gripped by Cosmic Cadets and the Universal Uni-korn by Ryan Crawford. Plus they'll have fun with the accompanying activity pack which we created for Parrot Street Book Club subscribers in November 2025.
“Cosmic Cadets and the Universal Uni-korn is a laugh-out-loud, fast-paced space adventure bursting with imagination and heart. With Gloria’s fearless curiosity, Razz’s rule-loving charm, and Rochelle Falconer’s vibrant illustrations, Ryan Crawford has created the perfect read for newly independent readers who love humour, friendship, and a heroine who doesn’t quite fit the mould. We were thrilled to share this out-of-this-world debut with our Parakeet subscribers!”

Gloria is the first ever human to get into the Cosmic Cadet Academy and she's determined to make a splash. But she quickly realizes it might be harder than she was expecting...
On her first day, Gloria goes to class with the headteacher stuck to her shoe (it turns out some aliens are small and squishy) and then learns that no one in the universe except humans eats with their mouth anymore. Partnered up with Razz, a cat-like alien who is way too keen on following the rules, Gloria is desperate for real adventure. She decides they will ignore instructions and go off on their own mission... to find a uni-korn. Little does she know that uni-korns are some of the most dangerous and foul-tempered creatures in the universe... capable of swallowing galaxies whole. Gloria just might get her wish for adventure... if she doesn't accidentally destroy the universe first.
Ryan Crawford is a South-London born and raised writer, coach, and game designer. When he isn't creating cruel board game mechanics or helping people make big life changes, he's dreaming up sci-fi and fantasy stories that absolutely must pass his children's strict approval process.
The activity pack includes book club-style questions to ponder, fun facts about black holes, and a delicious recipe for lemon cheesecake, alongside stickers, jokes and further reading recommendations. Solve our planetary anagrams, design a space suit and create a glittery space scene!

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Parakeet reading group, aged roughly 5 to 8, who are emerging or newly independent readers. Many in this group prefer to listen to the books being read aloud by an adult.
