Description
"Ridiculously fun.”
—Dav Pilkey, creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants
“Hilarious.”
—New York Times
Pizza, soup, and . . . paperclips. The first three tales of the intrepid heroes in the New York Times and #1 Indie bestseller series The First Cat in Space come together in this 3-book box set.
When the spacewaves are in danger, there’s only one hero who can save the day—First Cat!
In The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza, First Cat journeys across space accompanied by the Moon Queen and LOZ 4000 to stop nefarious rats from eating the Moon.
In The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom, the Moon Queen has been poisoned—by SOUP! With few she can trust in her own royal court, she and First Cat must find the antidote before time runs out.
And in The First Cat in Space and the Wrath of the Paperclip, our fearless heroes face their most diabolical villain yet—an AI paperclip named CheckMate. Can our trio stop CheckMate from turning everyone into paperclips?
Find out all of this (and more!) in this epic collection!
