"Commander Toad and the Space Pirates" by Jane Yolen

Reviewed by Allison Isidore
What I liked about the book is it is very adventurous. There are four crew members and Commander Toad. As you know from the title it must involve pirates, which it does. The name of their ship is Star Warts (sounds like Star Wars, get it?). You'll find out from reading the story whether the pirates are good or bad.

What happens in the book is the crew members think it's a very boring trip on the ship until they get attacked by pirates. They're boarded and captured by the pirates, the only crew member who isn't captured by the pirates is the doctor. The doctor has fallen asleep when the crew members have been captured.

One more thing, there is one funny part that has amused me a lot; when the doctor wraps himself and looks like a mummy and then he snaps the tails of the pirates, and then they start cleaning up the mess they created.

What happens next you'll have to find out by reading the book.
