Bookroo's summary

Sardine, a daring young girl, sails the cosmos with her cousin Lou and pirate uncle Captain Yellow Shoulder. Their mission? To thwart Supermuscleman, the universe's tyrant, who aims to make every child obey. As they journey through space, they face bizarre creatures and cosmic challenges. Can Sardine outsmart the dictator and his sinister schemes? Dive into a world of adventure and imagination where the stakes are high and the surprises never end.

From the publisher

In the goofy space adventures of a little girl called Sardine, encounters aren’t always friendly: weird creatures, cosmic squids, masters of the universe, talking clouds, and evil beings abound. In this volume of twelve stories, Supermuscleman, the chief executive dictator of the universe, is on a mission to make all the galaxy’s kids behave. Sardine must enlist the help of her cousin Lou and her pirate uncle, the gruff Captain Yellow Shoulder, to outwit him and his evil plans. The first book in an exciting new series by two of France’s most talented comics authors, Sardine is a feast for the imagination of young readers. Emmanuel Guibert, an outstanding artist and graphic storyteller, takes a turn on the script, while Joann Sfar illuminates the writing with rambunctious, high-energy artwork.
