Subwoolfer: Operation Grandma

Ben Adams

Join space wolves Jim and Keith on their quest to Grandma's house, where you can eat as much as you like! Jim and Keith live on the moon, with nothing to eat but bananas. One day, an astronaut from earth crash-lands his space pod, and the hungry wolves listen carefully to his story about Grandma's house, where you can eat as much as you like. Grandma just gets happier the more you eat! Before they can return to Earth and Grandma’s house, the trio must now travel through space to collect the pieces of the astronaut's broken spaceship. They start a crazy journey from planet to planet, visiting King Loo Roll on the Toilet Planet, snowball-throwing elves on the Christmas Planet, and a creepy Subspider on the Spooky Planet before setting their coordinates for Earth. But where on Earth could grandma be? Is she even alive, after all these years? And what happens when the astronaut discovers that the wolves have actually been planning on eating his grandma? Subwoolfer: Operation Grandma is the first instalment of a hilariously crazy comic book series by Ben Adams and Martin Aas (ill.). Perfect for readers ages 6–9 and fans of Dave Pilkey.
