About This Book

"The Never Land pirates have a special surprise for Bucky: his very own golden anchor! But when Captain Hook spies the shiny treasure, he sails away with it across the Never Sea. Will the friends track down the Jolly Roger, or will it be anchor's away--far, far away?"--

Our Review

A space-faring adventure awaits young readers as Kiki and her crew face off against cosmic buccaneers determined to steal their most prized treasure. When a gleaming golden anchor disappears into the starry expanse, our heroes embark on a thrilling chase across alien seas, navigating asteroid fields and nebula storms in pursuit of the villainous Captain Hook's vessel. This interstellar pirate tale combines the excitement of high-seas adventure with imaginative sci-fi elements that will captivate middle-grade readers who love action-packed quests and clever heroines.

What sets this galactic journey apart is its emphasis on teamwork and problem-solving as Kiki's crew works together to outsmart their spacefaring foes. The story balances genuine tension with age-appropriate stakes, creating an engaging narrative that teaches valuable lessons about friendship and perseverance without ever feeling preachy. Parents will appreciate the strong female protagonist and the creative blending of classic pirate tropes with inventive cosmic settings, making this an ideal choice for young adventurers craving stories about clever heroes, dastardly space pirates, and treasure that's truly out of this world.
