It is described as
When two relative giants—a cat and an otter—attend Yvette’s gymnastics competition, they’ve come to recruit the mouse for their new space program. Yvette can hardly refuse and joins an interspecies team (including cats, dogs, octopi, an otter, a raptor, and a squirrel) building an interstellar spaceship using ancient octopus technology.
The political tides turn, and the crew of The Lucky Boomerang must decide—will they sacrifice everything to become the first of their species to travel beyond the boundaries of their solar system? Or will the fanatically religious dogs of the Uplifted States take their spaceship away before it can get off the ground?
My Review
When I picked up this book was for it’s cover. But then I began to read through it I was totally delighted. It was a story of both interesting characters, as well as a story which kind of hangs you on the edge not quite certain if they would find their ultimate goal or not.
It was only when I was half way through that I discovered it was written for young adults. But this older guy loved it to the very end. Can’t wait to see if there is any future sequel and see where the author takes the plot.
I can honestly highly recommend this book. If you want something that is both light and enjoyable.
I give it a very solid 8 out of 10
It’s on https://www.amazon.com/ and available both as a paperback and on Kindle
