Bookroo's summary

Derrick, Samantha, and Michael are supposed to be in school, but thanks to the unpredictable Nanny Piggins, they're rocketing into space aboard a NASA shuttle. As they navigate the cosmos, Nanny Piggins' antics escalate—wrestling crocodiles, bungee jumping with underwear, and thwarting a jewel thief. With her brother Boris in need of rescue from wrestlers, can Nanny Piggins keep the kids safe and return them to Earth? Adventure and hilarity collide in this cosmic caper.

From the publisher

In space, no one can hear you oink!Derrick, Samantha, and Michael should be in school. Instead they find themselves in NASA’s space shuttle, which Nanny Piggins manages to accidentally launch, blasting them all into outer space. This time she has gone too far! In this thrilling fourth installment of her adventures, Nanny Piggins wrestles with a crocodile, bungee jumps off the roof using the elastic from Mr. Green’s underpants, staples chicken wire over their chimney to keep out Santa, captures an apricot Danish-loving jewel thief, and rescues her brother, Boris, from an onslaught of professional wrestlers.
