Starcross, by Philip Reeve (Bloomsbury, 2007)

Art and Myrtle Mumby are back, in an all-new adventure that’s sure to challenge the imagination. Together with their recently-returned mother, they travel to the asteroid hotel of Starcross, only to learn that it’s a trap. Together and separately, with old friends and new alike, they must battle strange foes, travel through time, and watch out for mind-controlling hats, as they unravel the secrets of Starcross. This is a spectacularly mad jaunt through a brilliantly-conceived alternate universe where everything you know about space is wrong, and Britain’s conquered the solar system. Between Reeve’s brilliant lunacy and David Wyatt’s fanciful illustrations, this book is full of adventure, mystery, manners, and imagination. I can’t get enough of this series.
