Sardine in outer space

Sardine is the spunky niece of Captain Yellow Shoulder- in the company of her cousin and companion Little Louie, these space pirates defeat the evil Supermuscleman and free the orphans from the orphanages he operates. Through out the twelve chapters Sardine and her companions come face to face with cosmic squids, talking clouds, and space leeches on their adventures to save the orphans. The illustrations are brightly colored and appear to be drawn with the detail only a 5th grader could muster, but that only adds to the allure.
