George's Secret Key to the Universe is a 2007 children's book written by Stephen and Lucy Hawking. Its main characters are George, Eric, Annie, Dr.G.Reeper (or Greeper) and Cosmos, the world's most powerful computer, which can make windows to look into outer space and doors which act like portals letting you out into outer space. It is written like a story and aims to describe various aspects of the universe in a manner that is accessible to small children. It starts by describing atoms, stars, planets and their moons. It then goes on to describe black holes which remains the topic of focus in the last part of the book.
