Celeste Express: The Purrfect Crime

<The second brilliant story in this highly illustrated, out-of-this world adventure series, perfect for fans of Super Mario Bros, Peanut Jones and Amelia Fang!

Princess Celeste Starwing reckons she''s just about got the hang of this running the intergalactic post office gig. People are getting their post on time, she and Podge have a very helpful new recruit, Oswald the goblin, and the stardust bunnies are as cute as ever.

So it''s a bit of a surprise to have a new spanner thrown in the works, in the form of a daring cosmic cat burglar, who not only pinches a whole load of post, but frames Celeste and her team for the crime in the process. Now they''ll have to work out who the thief is - and quick, before they''re thrown into intergalactic prison . . .

Packed full of amazing illustrations and lots of adventure, humour and heart, <>
