Harvey Drew and the Junk Skunks

Description

It's chaos once more on the bridge of the Toxic Spew. But this time, the ship's problems are of a most human nature - they've run out of food! Mutiny, cannibalism and plain old theft are suggested as potential problem-solvers. At this point the ISS is mentioned?no, not the International Space Station?the Interstellar Service Station...But the ISS is spookily deserted and it's not long before Harvey suspects there's something fishy going on...and he's not just talking about the Spew's malfunctioning rubbish chute. Can Harvey unite his crew one more time and solve the mystery of the abandoned space station? Will Scrummage really eat Yargal if they don't find some food? Join the gang for another rip-roaring, space-hopping and (frankly) stomach-turning adventure on the universe's worst intergalactic rubbish truck.

Hugely original and wildly funny, a true page turner that will delight any child. -- Jacqueline Wilson, (Praise for the HARVEY DREW series) This is a fast paced space adventure with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Readers will be amused by the jokey tone of the narrator, the slapstick behaviour of the crew and the disgusting descriptions of space rubbish (not for the squeamish). A fun read for boys and girls alike. * Books for Keeps (Praise for HARVEY DREW AND THE BINMEN FROM OUTER SPACE) *
