Hard to believe it's published--it's the sort of thing that your brain-damaged cousin, who fancies herself a writer, might have turned out over a weekend and pressed into your hands with a plea to read it. It is, however, a prime candidate for reading-and-ridiculing a la Mystery Science Theatre, if there's a market for that. On its own merits, though, it's a tosser. DNF. Poorly pitched agewise, plot inconsistencies, overly clever punny names pointed out far too many times in case the reader is not smart enough to have gotten them (we are), stereotypical and flat characters that seem to have come out of an Enid Blyton novel.

Dell and Emmelisa Planemaker are two ordinary children who lead uneventful lives in a small town in Lancashire until they discover a unique computer that takes them on an extraordinary journey. They are guided by a strange-looking man from a far-off distant planet who helps them to undergo a tough space mission: to follow their father's Trail of Light.

There are a lot of names with puns, one or two of which made me smile, but the story as a whole is inconsistent, repetitive, and over-detailed. It's also very dated, technology-wise, but that's understandable in a book published about fifteen years ago.
Supposedly for children, it touches on a couple of significant issues, but without any real resolution. And the characters are so flat that I didn't much care what happened to them. I really wouldn't recommend it.
