In the darkest depths of outer space, Princess Leona's STAR DEFENDERS protect the galaxy from danger!

Jamie and Abby are bored, and bored. Dad, trying to work from his dining table office, has no choice but to entertain them with a story - a Space Pirate Bear story! When something grey threatens the entire universe, and has the Star Defenders on the brink of defeat, who are you going to call? Well the mightiest band of heroes in all the cosmos, of course, the SPACE PIRATE BEARS. But can Abby and Jamie agree who these mysterious heroes are before the Forces of Greyness destroys everything?

A story within a story that celebrates family time together and choosing your own path.

Reviews
Both Alastair Chisholm's words and Jez Tuya's pictures epitomise the delights of story making, the former providing a humorous, twisting turning, action-packed adventure for the latter to play around with in his inventive scenes. A smashing book, especially for Dads to share with their offspring. * Red Reading Hub *
Alastair Chisholm has captured perfectly the bond made by storytelling and the way we should just set stories free to go anywhere they want to go. This is a big generous, colourful book, lavishly illustrated by the New Zealand illustrator, Jez Tuya. * The Letterpress Project *
