Astra’s family are all snoring in their sleeping pods, but Astra is WIDE AWAKE. With her friend, Pilbeam, she goes off exploring and soon finds out the ship is in deep trouble. It’s been knocked off course and invaded by a gang of Poglites, an alien salvage crew searching for spoons.
But even the Poglites need Astra’s help when they discover something far more sinister lurking in the canteen… Sure, they’re cakes; but no one would describe them as sweet!
Another splendiferous adventure from dynamic duo, Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre.

Oh my gosh this book was amazing. Astra is my favourite character because she is very brave and lives in a rocket ship. One of the best things is her nom O trom because she thought it was broken but actually it just wanted to serve cupcakes. She also had a sister who was a pest and was very mean. Age group for this book is people who read chapter books.

This book was fun to read as it kept me interested, because every chapter had a new new adventure to continue. I think it is cool that the author has made a book where humans go through space to another planet. My favourite character were the cakes as they were funny, cute and dangerous. I would recommend it to people in the age range of 7-12

Cakes in space ? Nomotron accidentally makes angry cakes and the pologrites try and steal them. ASTRA and her friend black horror have to help her to save the day . I loved it. Totally recommended

I love how everything was so fine and then not and then it was all fixed and it just had a way of saying “oh it’s all gonna get better” and then it just doesn’t, but it always ends well.

This book is perfect for readers who love adventure and fun in one story. It also points out that you should’t just someone by their appearance. I would definitely recommend it!

I think this book was fabulous its got a good plot I think the idea of cakes eating you instead of us eating them is interesting.I love the idea of going to Nova Mundi and the alien poglites and how they invade ships.I like the idea of the sleep pods that cool you and how theres an escape button.

This is a brilliant, action-packed story featuring a girl and her friends. Full of monstrous cakes with teeth and aliens and a nameless horror.
