Synopsis

Kiki's Delivery Service meets Guardians

of the Galaxy for readers of 7+ in this funny, action-packed

adventure combining black-and-white highly illustrated text with

comic strip panels - the exciting authorial debut of illustrator

and animator James Lancett.

If you need something delivered in space with no questions

asked, the Galaxy Runners are for you!

Working against greedy Warp Co., siblings Kas and Fig run their

plucky business with the help of Skipper, their risk-taking artificial

assistant, and Mags, their volcanic hired security! They

spend their time adventuring across the galaxy, escaping perilous

dangers and making a quick space-buck along the way...

Then, one day, they agree to transport a mysterious cannister

across the galaxy. They soon discover it contains Jello - an adorable,

gooey, shape-shifting alien being... with unexpected, life-changing

powers. Which means greedy bad guys across the

universe are soon trying to get their hands on him!

Can the Galaxy Runners escape the clutches of Warp Co.?

And where exactly will Jello and his super-poop end up...?

Short, punchy chapters with comic panels and loads of illustration

- perfect for young or less confident readers, or anyone who

loves visual storytelling.

A story packed with humour, creative characters and universe-saving

action!

James Lancett has worked extensively in both TV animation and
