Space Taxi: Archie Takes Flight

“Out-of-this-world fun.”–Publishers Weekly“The plot moves right along, helping the newly independent reader stay engaged. The description of the map is especially enticing: who wouldn’t love a 3-D map that changes with every turn, opening up whole new galaxies? Occasional black-and-white cartoon illustrations add to the fun and keep the pages turning. The number 1 on the book’s spine indicates that this is just the first adventure for Archie-here’s to more to come!”–The Horn Book“The plotting never overdoes it, the surprises are gentle, and the humor is always on target for a young demographic–Booklist“This series opener zips along at an energetic pace that will keep readers actively engaged. Plenty of humor and adventure […] and the inclusion of science facts at the end adds an educational element…Readers will look to the stars for more interplanetary adventures to come.”–School Library Journal“Zany adventures, a wacky plot and plenty of slapstick humor make this a quick, enjoyable read. A solid start to a new chapter-book series.”–Kirkus
