What's black and white, and flies faster than the speed of light? The Space Penguins! They're the ice-cool crew of the spaceship Tunafish. With their pioneering flying skills and resistance to the deep freeze, these intergalactic avians are going where no fin has gone before. Captain T Krill, Rocky Waddle, Fuzz Allgrin and Splash Gordon are on a mission to explore new planets, rescue alien life, and battle their former comrade-in-wings: Dark Wader. The penguins receive a distress call from a glamorous cruise spacecraft. But when they reach the stricken vessel, its passengers and crew are nowhere to be found. Could their disappearance have something to do with an ominous black hole nearby? And are the penguins destined to be its next victims? A hilarious series, featuring everyone's favourite flightless birds! Packed with out of this world aliens, flipper to the floor penguin action, and daft jokes and puns, these books are perfect for boys and girls aged six to eight.
