Early Chapter Books

Action, drama, silliness, naughtiness and comedy abound in this full-colour comic book for newly-independent readers, based on the popular CITV series. Captain Mack is on an outer space rescue mission to save some stranded astronauts from a fuel leak in their space shuttle. But some nasty alien Moon-Mites are lurking in the moon craters. Fortunately Captain Mack's got an arsenal of superpowers and gadgets he can use to thwart them, and save the hapless astronauts. There's not much time to kick back and relax after his exploits before disaster strikes once again in Sunshine City. Oh no! It's a disaster! Never fear, Mack is here! Sky Rockets to the Rescue! The bright and colourful comic-strip format makes this accessible series a terrific choice for newly-independent readers. It is full of action, humour, adventure, rockets and a reassuring theme of good versus naughty. It is based on the popular CITV series, which has its own website featuring games and downloads for the fans. Captain Mack introduces a wonderfully benign superhero to the very youngest of readers.
