I read a book as a child, and loved it, but cannot remember its title. Can anyone recognise it from these patchy memories? This was probably 25 or so years ago.
It was basically a science fiction novel for (I reckon) a 10 year old, about a boy who flies around a number of planets in his own small spaceship. On one of the planets, he is surrounded by stone like objects that move very slowly, and I think he gets surrounded by them after falling asleep in them. I seem to recall another scene where he lands his spaceship on his school playing field and burns it with the engines. I think they also played a game a bit like polo in spaceships.
Granted, it doesn't sound too inspiring, but I can remember a real magical sense to it, and I've been trying to remember it so I can read it to my son.
