Description

Kiki’s Delivery Service meets Guardians of the Galaxy

for readers of 7+ in this funny, action-packed adventure

combining black-and-white highly illustrated text with comic strip

panels – the exciting authorial debut of illustrator and animator

James Lancett.

If you need something delivered in space with no questions asked,

the Galaxy Runners are for you! Working against greedy Warp Co.,

siblings Kas and Fig run their plucky business with the help

of Skipper, their risk-taking artificial assistant, and Mags, their

volcanic hired security! They spend their time adventuring across

the galaxy, escaping perilous dangers and making a quick space-buck

along the way…

Then, one day, they agree to transport a mysterious cannister

across the galaxy. They soon discover it contains Jello – an adorable,

gooey, shape-shifting alien being… with unexpected, life-changing

powers. Which means greedy bad guys across the universe

are soon trying to get their hands on him! Can the Galaxy

Runners escape the clutches of Warp Co.? And where exactly will Jello

and his super-poop end up…?

Short, punchy chapters with comic panels and loads of

illustration – perfect for young or less confident readers, or anyone

who loves visual storytelling.

A story packed with humour, creative characters and universe-saving

action!

James Lancett has worked extensively in both TV animation and

children’s illustration, illustrating bestselling books including

Noel Fitzpatrick’s Vetman, Adam B’s Adam Wins the Internet

and Chris Smith’s The New Famous Five, as well

as working on animations for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Netflix

and more.
