Synopsis
Niko may live on boring old Earth with his family, but he’s always finding a new adventure. Using the spaceship that he built from a box in his backyard and a little imagination, he flies off into space with his robot, Radar, and his dog, Tag. The only one NOT invited is his sister Posh who keeps trying to insert herself into Niko’s story. In this first mission, Niko and crew (and maybe also pesky Posh) fly to the moon in search of a lost cat. Illustrated in comic book style and featuring easy to read text packed with humor, Space Boy and His Dog is Niko’s first adventure, with two more books planned in the series.

From School Library Journal
K-Gr 3—With his homemade spaceship, Niko is eager to find a cat that he believes is lost on the moon. His dog, Tag, and robot, Radar, join him, but Niko makes it clear that his sister Posh is not invited on the mission. Nevertheless, upon landing on the lunar surface, Niko sees that Posh has snuck along. Tempers flare when he discovers, after searching for the cat, that Posh has cleverly managed to locate it herself. Jealous, Niko provokes a fight, refusing to allow her to enter the spaceship and return home. His crew disapproves so he goes back, but strong-willed Posh refuses to be rescued. She ends up finding her own way home, and returns the cat to its owner. The digital illustrations employ a bold but limited color palette, which highlights the contrast between the deep black space and the bright white moon. Full-page illustrations are combined with paneled sequences. The text is clear and the narration concise, and events transition nicely between reality and the kids' imaginations. A good read-aloud to highlight strong female characters and discuss sibling rivalries.—Whitney LeBlanc, Staten Island Academy, NY
