There are two missions on-the-go in this well paced, fun and entertaining story:
Thanks to the antics of Speed Bump Charlie (an old alley cat) - the Moon has been destroyed!
NASA turns to a special group of canines, known as The Organisation, for help. Their mission is to find a replacement for the Moon! – NASA has a spaceship waiting for them at Cape Canaveral.
After a brief meeting with NASA, the spaceship is ready. Commander Rocky agrees to lead the mission, along with the help of his special team of canines, Astro, Alfie, Digger, Indy and Stella.
Needless to say, but this adventurous trip to the far reaches of the solar system does not go exactly to plan!
What will this space crew encounter? And will they overcome their challenges?
It's very entertaining for the reader. One of my favourite moments is when Astro and Alfie encounters a space walk, with their moon-ropes. They encounter some angry aliens – it's very amusing!
Meanwhile, Speed Bump Charlie has a mission of his own. He devises a wicked plan to rid the world of dogs forever – after finding a chariot of treasure, lying on an ocean seabed! He soon meets a little kitten, who looks remarkably like himself! - Eventually, they join forces. Speed Bump Charlie calls the kitten, Furball. After an adventurous journey together in a truck, Speed Bump Charlie and Furball arrive at 123 Meow Muse, Cat Town. It's here that they devise an ingenious dog-trap, using the treasure and their skills with a hot welding machine!
Speed Bump Charlie is confident that his dog-trap will free the world of all canines. At first, his plan appears to be working. Hundreds of dogs are leered and mesmerised into his wicked dog-trap!
What eventually happens?
Well, I can tell you that The Organisation are a very highly-technical team! Before arriving back on Earth in their spaceship, they hear shocking news from Dotty and Buster (based in the communications room at their headquarters) about Speed Bump Charlie's plans!
Will they have time to stop Speed Bump Charlie and save the future of the canine world?
The final part of this story brings the canines face-to-face with the felines. It's highly entertaining!
I counted thirty-seven cute and colourful illustrations. This adds another dimension to the characters and the well-written story telling.
I recommend this book to science-fiction lovers, and to children who love to use and express their thoughts and imagination.
Age range: 8 to 14 years.
