The Motogalactic Monsters are a motley crew. They have a brand new space craft built from used parts from old space ships found on the Junk Planet. They also built a Monster Truck they call "Big M." But the truck needs more oomph to soar higher for the Astro Truck Jam race. Thus we find our beloved monsters heading to the Junk Planet to burnish their Monster Truck. Can they get by the space invaders and reach the Junk Planet? The reader also gets to view the races the Monsters are in. It is amazing what they can do to make new or upgrade with what they find on the Junk Planet. Young boys will enjoy this chapter book dealing with vehicles, space, monsters, recycling and racing.

The new book by Shaskan, with thrilling illustrations by Brian
Finlay, brings together the excitement of Monster Truck racing, combined with space adventures and humor for kids. Spunky little Mosh is particularly entertaining, as the youngest of the Motogalactic Monsters crew. He allows us to see the space age world of the Monster Galaxy through your child’s eyes.
All the Motogalactic Monsters crew characters are fun and relatable, and the story moves along at an energetic pace, keeping a reader of any age anxious to see what happens next.
