by Guillaume Perrault (Author)
Bob strikes back! Join a determined postman on his route across the galaxy in this hilarious graphic novel follow-up to The Postman from Space.
Even as his delivery assignments get stranger and stranger, Bob is a dedicated and deadpan mail carrier who manages to remain unfazed. . . . Most of the time, anyway. This hilarious graphic novel follows Bob to several new planets (and a few old favorites) as he does his best to deliver the mail, train a new mail-carrier, and ends up facing down the infamous outer-space Biker Bandits! The colorful art features extraterrestrials and cinematic views of awe-inspiring alien landscapes, contrasting humorously with Bob's down-to-earth take on things. His adventures are as harrowing as they are hilarious in this follow-up to the award-winning graphic novel.

Gr 4-6--Postman Bob, who is white, and his new teammate Marcelle, a pink-skinned, blue-haired extraterrestrial, have an important package to deliver. However, when they stop for a bite to eat, they unwittingly attract a biker gang that hounds them across the cosmos. They pick up a musician hitchhiker who looks like a frog--and who may be the "X-factor" they need to finish their job and come back in one piece. Rendered in a muted palette, Perreault's variety of planetary settings, including the bone-shaped planet Fibula, showcase an endlessly charming imagination at work. New readers need not have read the first book, though it will certainly be in demand. VERDICT Children and adults are equally liable to sneak this book from the other's bookshelf to enjoy its inviting journey.--Thomas Maluck
