Description
In the third book in the CatStronauts graphic novel series, your favourite elite team of cat astronauts is a member short when a close call in space causes one of them to quit!
When chief science officer Pom Pom rejoins the CatStronauts on the International Space Station, she has to get to work right away—the Hubba Bubba Telescope isn't working, and CATSUP is losing funding by the day!
But as the CatStronauts and Mission Control race to find answers, the unthinkable happens and pilot Waffles is forced to orbit the Earth in nothing but his space suit while the rest of the team comes up with a rescue plan. Even though he's no scaredy cat, Waffles is going to have a hard time staying out in space. When disaster on a global scale rears its head, will a fractured CatStronauts team be enough to save the day?
In this graphic novel, debut author/illustrator Drew Brockington takes the CatStronauts to the brink, adding in mounds of jokes, charm, asteroid showers, and enough tuna for everyone!
