Synopses & Reviews
The red-headed space heroine is back! This time, the evil Supermuscleman has developed a device for controlling children—a brainwashing machine! Its up to Sardine, Little Louie, and Captain Yellow Shoulder to keep him from using it. This installment of six more stories is filled with even more strange creatures—including a space Santa Claus, pesky flies that plant annoying music in their victims ears, intergalactic yogurt thieves, and little monster carpet salesmen who live on a fully-carpeted comet. The outrageous adventures of Sardine continue in these spirited, boisterous, and gently satirical tales.
Review
“The impish graphic novel protagonists Sardine and her uncle Yellow Shoulder return in 12 enjoyable, nutty tales of the fun-loving space pirates versus the slow-witted galactic dictator Supermuscleman. . . . The book [has] an illicit, forbidden-fruit appeal that some young readers will find irresistible. . . . On proud display here is the idea that children are our last line of defense against a world that is increasingly bound by stiff guidelines and unnecessary rules.”—Booklist “. . . will keep the younger audiences . . . chortling.”—Kirkus Reviews
