Children's Literature
Sardine travels with her uncle, Captain Yellow Shoulder, a pirate who saves children from a nasty person called Supermuscleman. The book has twelve exciting chapters, each with a separate adventure where the heroes battle the villains and come away victors. The first place they land is the dark side of the moon where the inhabitants are too shy to come out of their homes. Sardine and her uncle then find the other side of the moon, where everyone parties. What happens when the shy ruler meets the beautiful party-going President? Will they get married? Next Captain Yellow Shoulder and Sardine go on to a place where a Scamcorder zaps people and makes them hairy with pimples and big ears. Just when you think it cannot get any worse, the travelers continue on to find a school master to teach them punctuation. They get on a rocket to take them on vacation, but it takes them to jail, and after that, they have to solve a murder in space. I am out of breath and that was just the first half of the book! The lovable tiny Sardine usually ends up saving the day in the adventures. Children will appreciate the graphic form of the book and will share it with their friends, and together will laugh at some of the outrageous situations. Vocabulary like "go cool your heels," "whippersnappers," "atrocious," and "la poo poo" add to the entertainment. Reviewer: Kathie M. Josephs
