★《Dog Man》凱迪克獲獎作家狂讚:「內容荒誕有趣、插畫精彩!」
這次讀者將遇到新角色:邪惡的迴紋針、太空恐龍,超可愛小兔子,還能取得免費獲得甜點的秘訣!
45億年前,有個名叫「CheckMate」的AI迴紋針誕生,CheckMate原本功能是修正語法錯誤。但長期糾正「who」與「whom」的錯誤讓它心力交瘁,於是它想出了一個終極計畫,要徹底消除所有拼字錯誤,並決定將所有生命體變成既美觀、又實用且完美無瑕的迴紋針。
幸好CheckMate被深埋在宇宙殘骸中,逐漸被遺忘……直到某天,CheckMate被意外釋放,打算入侵了地球上的每台電腦,誓言實現邪惡計畫!
只有太空貓、月亮女王跟LOZ 4000剪腳指甲機器人這三位英雄能阻止這場危機。但CheckMate以迅雷不及掩耳的速度「嗖」的一下奪走了太空貓的太空裝!讓這位傳奇英雄瞬間變成一隻普通的家貓……整個宇宙,真的要淪為文具用品了嗎?!
《The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom》用字簡單,故事情節有趣,得獎作者Mac Barnett以及凱迪克銀牌獎得獎繪本家Shawn Harris,黃金組合再次攜手,以驚奇的故事情節,以及令人捧腹大笑的新角色,讓孩子在笑聲不斷的閱讀體驗中,一步步邁向結局高潮,是本能讓孩子輕鬆學習英文的漫畫式小說。

Award-winning creators Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris are back with the third volume in the bestselling The First Cat in Space graphic novel series! Prepare to meet an evil paperclip, space dinos, and another adorable bunny. Mac & Shawn also reveal their tried-and-true method of scoring free dessert at restaurants.
4.5 billion years ago . . . an AI paperclip named CheckMate was designed to fix grammatical errors. Exhausted of correcting "who” vs. “whom,” it concocted a plan to eliminate spelling errors once and for all. All life-forms would be turned into something beautiful, practical, perfect: a paperclip.
Thankfully, it was buried in the debris. Long forgotten . . . until it was accidentally freed. Now CheckMate has invaded every computer on Earth and is bent on fulfilling its dastardly plot. There's only one trio who can save the day: the First Cat in Space, the Moon Queen, and LOZ 4000. But when CheckMate zoops First Cat's spacesuit, our titular hero is now powerless. The fate of the world depends on...a regular little kitty cat.
Will everyone in the universe become school supplies?!
