When Sam’s parents are stranded on Planet X, he bravely asks his neighbours, the notorious Space Pirates, to help rescue them. But they’d rather carry on bowling and singing space-shanties, so Sam has no choice but to hide in a barrel of alien slime and stowaway! A fast-paced, funny series with gags galore, this is a chase through space that will have you cackling from start to finish!
Loved this book - it was hilarious and full of all the stuff kid's love. Pirates, action, a boy out on an adventure!
Sam lives on Planet P-Sezov 8 which is a lump of rock with only his parent’s scientific laboratory and a pirate space port (on the other side of the planet). One day while doing his homework (with a holographic Professor), something crash lands by the lab, taking out all communications - including the Professor. Sam discovers the homing beacon from his parent’s ship with a message and a map written on a piece of space suit. They have landed on Planet X.
This is a planet made of gold (supposedly mythical), but his parent’s have found it. With communications out, Sam knows the only way to find his parents, is with the help of the pirates on the other side of the island. And this is where his real adventure begins...
