Description
In the sequel to CatStronauts: Mission Moon, your favourite elite group of cat astronauts are thrust into the space-race of the century!
Fresh off of their heroic mission to save the world, the CatStronauts—Major Meowser, Pom Pom, Blanket, and Waffles—are taking a well-deserved victory lap. Parades and fancy awards dinners are the new norm!
But around the world, other cat space programmes are watching—in particular, the CosmoCats, the first cats to go to space! With national pride and scientific research on the line, the world's space programmes rush to be the first cats to Mars, and the CatStronauts are starting months behind! Can they catch up and prove their first mission was no fluke?
In this graphic novel, debut author/illustrator Drew Brockington takes the CatStronauts further than they've ever gone, adding in mounds of jokes, charm, science, and enough yarn and scratching posts for everyone!
