What is Gilbert's Universe about?
Gilbert loves inventing machines from scraps and discarded bits and pieces. With his friend and neighbour Ginny, he builds Victoria, a homemade spaceship, and sets off to explore the Universe. Their adventure takes an unexpected turn when a giant space dragon damages the ship, forcing them to crash-land on the Moon. Stranded far from Earth, Gilbert and Ginny must find a way home while avoiding the dragon, which has landed with them. Can their clever ideas save the day?
