The Minklestonks and Planet Aaaarg

By Rob Clare

The Minklestonks are a chaotic crew of aliens who are far better at causing problems than solving them.

When a routine repair mission goes spectacularly wrong, Captain Glootan and the crew of the Ming Ming Moo find themselves thrown into an unexpected adventure. With malfunctioning systems, detachable limbs, and a spaceship that seems determined to fall apart at every possible moment, things are already off to a questionable start.

But when a distress signal from a missing spy leads them to the mysterious and uncharted Planet Aaaarg, the crew discover they may be in far deeper trouble than they realise.

Beneath the planet's surface lurk strange creatures, hidden dangers, and a secret that could change everything. With the help of an overly enthusiastic new recruit, a highly opinionated coffee machine, and a team that struggles to work together, the Minklestonks must complete their mission... if they can survive it.

The Minklestonks and Planet Aaaarg is a fast-paced, humorous sci-fi adventure filled with action, absurdity, and unexpected teamwork.

Perfect for ages 8-12 (Middle Grade), and ideal for readers who enjoy funny, high-energy space adventures.
