Book two in Archie Morningstar’s Space Taxi adventure was a fun, furry, imaginative ride. In space, on Earth, and under water! You never know where you’ll end up!
Whoosh!
Pockets the space cat and his two deputies, Archie and Archie’s Dad, head off on a space taxi mission. The underwater planet of Nautilus is drying up and disappearing! Can Archie navigate the stars and help solve the case? Will Pockets be able to fight crime soaking wet?! Tune in and read to find out. :)
Ant-like guys, Fish people, bad guys, twists & turns, and new friends take us around the galaxy.
”The universe may be a very big place, but good friends make it a lot smaller.”
I loved the focus on friends and teamwork, but hoped for a bit more father and son time. Maybe next trip!
Jump on in with Archie, his Dad, and Pockets for laughs and adventure through the stars!
Recommended read. I ‘m looking forward to the next ride already.

119 pages. Great series for boys. Lots of adventures as Archie and his dad explore an underwater planet. The plot keeps moving and pockets the cat keeps it all lively. Includes extra information/discussion at the end. Highly recommended for Grades 4-5.

SPACE TAXI.
A shadowy flight into the dangerous universe of a boy...
WHO'D RATHER NOT EXIST!
Archie Morningstar.
A young loner with a cab-driving dad who devotes his little life to protecting the innocent. The helpless, the clueless...in a world of arch-criminals who believe themselves above the law.
You notice, I hope, I'm freely ripping from the opening of Knight Rider, which I find similar in most aspects to that classic sci-fi show about cool cars with gadgets, mystery, and, yes, a KITT...err, kittycat.
This sequel to a new and fun series has Archie, his dad and his talking feline Pockets off to a watery grave of a watery planet where the evil organization BURP (yeah, I too found this odd) is planning universal conquest, as all bad guys in science fiction stories seem to have the annoying habit of doing. It's fun and cool, but lacking something I think. Perhaps David Hasselhoff as the dad...NAAAHHH!

8 year old Archie is so excited to be helping his dad and Buttons on a mission for Intergalactic Security Force. Archie can't wait to help the water planet Nautilus where the water is mysteriously disappearing.
Good story includes information about magnetism and cloud formation.

These books are fun to read aloud to my almost seven year old son. Such good things to imagine and the pictures are funny and go with the book well.

Great for third and fourth grade boy readers who have trouble finding books to match their level.

A cute, funny sci-fi for the younger elementary set, with a strong element of mystery as well.
