Starcross: A Stirring Adventure of Spies, Time Travel and Curious Hats

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. Art and Myrtle (Larklight) discover that Britain is being invaded by futuristic shapeshifters. The siblings reunite with pirate-turned-British-agent Jack Havock and are off to save the galaxy. Art and Myrtle are delightfully bombastic and vehemently British. The depths of dramatic tension work as counterpoint to the outlandish comedy, heightening humor and peril. Wyatt's meticulously detailed illustrations fill in any gaps.
