When the sun goes out, a brave astronaut must save the galaxy! Enjoy
video game level excitement with cool characters on an action packed
quest!
What would you do if the sun went out? The brave astronaut Topo leaves
his space station to save the day! He must search the universe to
discover how to relight the sun before everything freezes forever!
Now his mission is to travel to the farthest planet to retrieve the
mythic Galactic Flame. If he succeeds, then he can return to set the sun
ablaze. But what strange creatures lurk in his path? Accompany this
inventive hero and his amusing robot friends as they have fun rescuing
the galaxy.
Here science fiction combines with colorfully animated illustrations to
convey the message that everyone can make a difference! The brave
astronaut Topo (Spanish for "mole") stars in this out of this world
adventure, created by the talented design team DGPH. Collectors of
limited edition vinyl toys and fans of anime, manga, and plush
characters like the Uglydolls, will adore Topo and his cute crew.
Space Cadet Topo is "Star Trek" excitement that will entrance early
elementary readers. Plus adults, who are kids at heart and enjoy pop
culture art, will admire DGPH's engaging style and boundless
imagination. Teachers and librarians will like how this tale holds
students' attentions and inspires them to draw and create their own
stories.
What an engaging story, with crisp artwork, charming characters, and a
noble hero! After reading this fanciful adventure, I hope young Space
Cadets will be inspired to learn more about stars, outer space, and the
amazing universe around them!
