Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This hilarious, visually groundbreaking read is the last book in a major series by children's literature legend Jon Scieszka. The book follows a final mission, where AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug must find a planet fit for human life after we've finally made Earth unlivable. Time is up for our friends the AstroNuts. In fact, time is up for you, too. If they don't succeed on this mission, Earth is doomed! So when the team finds out they're being sent to a place called 'the perfect planet', their mission sounds way too easy. Unfortunately, the second they land, they realise they'll be dealing with the most dangerous species of all time...humans. Huh? Where in the universe is this supposedly perfect place? And how will the Nuts manage to convince the humans to risk death...for the sake of their lives?!



Featuring full-colour illustrations throughout, Planet Earth as the narrator, an out-of-this-world gatefold, and how-to-draw pages in the back, eager and reluctant readers alike will be over the moon about this new mission. Full of laugh-out-loud humour with a thoughtful commentary on the reality of climate change at the core of the story, this creatively illustrated, full-colour, action-packed space saga is a can't-put-it-down page-turner for readers of all levels and fans ready to blast past Dogman. tefold, and how-to-draw pages in the back, eager and reluctant readers alike will be over the moon about this new mission.
