Space Pirate Sardine vs. the Brainwashing Machine
“The impish graphic novel protagonists Sardine and her uncle Yellow Shoulder return in 12 enjoyable, nutty tales of the fun-loving space pirates versus the slow-witted galactic dictator Supermuscleman. . . . The book [has] an illicit, forbidden-fruit appeal that some young readers will find irresistible. . . . On proud display here is the idea that children are our last line of defense against a world that is increasingly bound by stiff guidelines and unnecessary rules.”—Booklist “. . . will keep the younger audiences . . . chortling.”—Kirkus Reviews
