Kiki's Delivery Service meets Guardians
of the Galaxy for readers of 7+ in this funny, action-packed
adventure combining black-and-white highly illustrated text
with comic strip panels - the exciting authorial debut of illustrator
and animator James Lancett.
If you need something delivered in space with no questions asked,
the Galaxy Runners are for you! Working against greedy Warp Co.,
siblings Kas and Fig run their plucky business with the help
of Skipper, their risk-taking artificial assistant, and Mags, their
volcanic hired security! They spend their time adventuring across
the galaxy, escaping perilous dangers and making a quick space-buck
along the way...
Then, one day, they agree to transport a mysterious cannister
across the galaxy. They soon discover it contains Jello - an adorable,
gooey, shape-shifting alien being... with unexpected, life-changing
powers. Which means greedy bad guys across the universe
are soon trying to get their hands on him! Can the Galaxy
Runners escape the clutches of Warp Co.? And where exactly will Jello
and his super-poop end up...?
Short, punchy chapters with comic panels and loads of
illustration - perfect for young or less confident readers, or anyone
who loves visual storytelling.
A story packed with humour, creative characters and universe-saving
action!
