Sardine in Outer Space 3

Sardine de l'espace #5-6

by Emmanuel Guibert, Joann Sfar (Illustrator)

The youngest and spunkiest girl in outer space is back and ready to play!

Supermuscleman and Doc Krok are at it again, and it’s not just the galaxy they’re out to ruin—it’s Sardine and Little Louie too! Get ready for the ultimate match-up as wits battle brawn in the best bout of this series. Yes, that’s right—it’s the Space Boxing Championship and the fearless cousins must go head to head with Supermuscleman, Chief Executive Dictator of the universe, shrunken for disguise but just as muscley.

And so begins another day in the life of Sardine. . . .

About the author

Emmanuel Guibert has written a great many graphic novels for readers young and old, among them the Sardine in Outer Space series and The Professor’s Daughter with Joann Sfar.

In 1994, a chance encounter with an American World War II veteran named Alan Cope marked the beginning of a deep friendship and the birth of a great biographical epic.

Another of Guibert's recent works is The Photographer. Showered with awards, translated around the world and soon to come from First Second books, it relates a Doctors Without Borders mission in 1980’s Afghanistan through the eyes of a great reporter, the late Didier Lefèvre.

Guibert lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.

Reviews

ok this one was much better than part two of sardine because it had more adventures and action, more comedy and it was cool.

I learned that I should take my time in picking my books.

A lot of fun. Joann Sfar's art is always unconcerned with perspective and anatomy and deeply engaged with telling the story. Guibert's scripts are inventive.

Somehow less magical than the previous 2 but still cute. Probably isn’t holding up because I did not read this one as a kid.

Sardine in Outer Space 3 is another fun collection of stories about a space-traveling girl and her friends as they foil the plans of Doc Krok and Supermuscleman. These two sure can be a major pain in the rear for Captain Yellow Shoulder, Sardine and Little Louie.

I love the way that Sardine and Little Louie always find a way to outsmart the two main bad guys. You would think that Doc Krok and Supermuscleman would just give up one day, but they don't. They have so many evil plans to make money, or take over something, it is quite funny.

Young readers will love the adventures of Sardine and she travels through space helping the less fortunate. The artwork is a tad rough, but still enjoyable. The writing is witty and will make you occasionally laugh out loud.

Overall, Sardine in Outer Space 3 is a nice addition to this series and I look forward to seeing what kind of trouble that Sardine will get into next in Sardine in Outer Space 4. Sardine proves that you don't need muscle to win, just brains.

I rated this book an 8 out of 10.

There is something whimsical, funny and addictively enjoyable about all the Sardine stories. They are all ten pages, generally have the same formula: Sardine, Little Louie and Captain Yellow Shoulder foil some plot by Supermuscleman and Doc Kroc--usually ending up with Supermuscleman and Doc Kroc ending up in whatever trap they were planning for others. All of them have a similar sense of whimsy about the imaginary outer space universe they depict and fun-loving about the children and their mild disobedience. The artwork is great, my children find the hilarious, and there is a lot of humor aimed at a higher level as well.

I like this book because it has a lot of fun things in it. It has people getting dropped off on islands and people playing soccer.

[GRPLTeens Grand Rapids Public Library · Rating 3 out of 5]

it is a fun book that has a lot of fun jokes and the way that it advertises and reviews the book on the first few pages.

[Kathleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Suitable for fans of Captain Underpants; that is, kids of all ages (including grownups, who will also read the book in secret and laugh.)
