About the Author

Rob West doesn't just write about tree ships. He sometimes retreats to write in the flying ship he built in his own back yard--it's the only place he can escape his wife, three sons (and their cronies), two dogs, three cats, two doves . . . and, when she chooses to drop in out of the sky, a duck!

This review is from: Escape from the Drooling Octopod!: Episode III (Star-Fighters of Murphy Street, The) (Paperback)

I bought this book, the last in the Star-Fighters of Murphy Street series, after finding the first one so engaging. My pre-teen grandson couldn't put volume one down and has already finished this and volume two and he has just been out of school for a week! I have read all three books and highly recommend them for anyone wanting a wholesome adventure series for their kids. I hope the author will write more of these. There's a waiting audience!!
