Pluto Rocket: Over the Moon

What’s it about?

The story.

The friendship goes interplanetary in the fourth Pluto Rocket adventure. Pluto's three dads believe Earthlings simply aren't nice, and they've banned her from visiting the planet, so Pluto and Joe Pidge head for the moon on a mission to convince them she never went to Earth at all. Naturally, nothing goes to plan: the pair accidentally land on an asteroid, mistaking it for the moon, and while trying to reassure a very nervous Joe that outer space isn't scary, Pluto manages to break the asteroid clean in two. On the moon itself they meet its lone resident, Moon Man Moe, who is obsessed with golf and desperate to sink a hole-in-one in a lunar crater. And when Pluto's dads finally arrive, the gang must prove once and for all that Earthlings are good, just as an unexpected orange rabbit turns up to cause maximum trouble. Paul Gilligan sends his double act into space with the same speech-bubble comedy, warm heart and taco-loving silliness that power the whole series, delivering another confidence-building win for young graphic-novel readers.
