Happiness! ( ) This is a pleasant series to read as there is nice art, good dialogue and plenty of action. But at the same time, from volume to volume, I really don't retain much beyond the basic concept that Cleopatra has traveled through time into the future to hang out with talking cats and save the universe. Again, I like the energetic storytelling and especially the gratuitous cute otter that was introduced, but this volume cited a death in the last volume, and I really don't remember who died or how, and I just didn't remember enough about the relationships of the people involved to get the twist ending. It didn't really diminish the story much, but it makes me realize that l probably won't recall a whole lot about this volume when I check the next one out of the library in a year or so. This is the fourth book in the Cleopatra in Space series. I always really look forward to these books (and so does my 10 year old son). They are just very fun reads that are well drawn and have a great story. In this book Cleo is trying to overcompensate for the disasters that happened in the last book. However, when she runs to the icy planet of Cada’duun to retrieve The Golden Lion she realizes that she might be in over her head. There are some great messages in here about responsibility and friendship which add a lot to the story. Of course there is also a lot of action and more of Cleo’s in-your-face spunkiness. The illustration is well done and easy to follow and I really enjoy the bright full color throughout. Overall this was a fantastic addition to the Cleopatra in Space series. I love how fun the story is and the bright and bold illustration. There is a lot of action and adventure but also some heartfelt story as well. Highly recommend to the middle grade audience and those adults (like me) who enjoy a fun space adventure. no reviews | add a review
