Buttons McGinty is back, and this time he's travelling through space and time in search of his parents. Buttons and his friends enter a universe unlike any you've seen before, using morse code and cryptic hieroglyphics to solve mysteries and ultimately find his parents.

This is the second book in this junior fiction series, written and illustrated by comedian Rhys Darby. Once again, it is action-packed with plenty of comedy, sci-fi and adventure to entertain younger readers. It is nonsensical, silly, and a real page turner.

Buttocks- I mean, Buttons McGinty, back at it again. This book was once again a lot of fun, perfect for the age group and older. I laughed a lot, had so much fun decoding the Morse code (I think I'm getting more and more of the letters without having to check the reference sheet I made!), and honestly, I'm a little mad at the cliffhanger. I hope everything will be solved in book 3...
