Robert Neubecker.
In his backyard, imaginative Niko (Space Boy and His [Sister] Dog) blasts off to Planet Zorg after space pirate (sister) Posh "abducts" cousin Sasha. Despite the pirate stealing their (cardboard) spaceship, the brave crew manages to return to Planet Home (Earth); but can they reboot when the pirate declares: "Let's delete ourselves from this story"? The out-of-this world illustrations help advance the imaginative meta-fictive adventure.
