Commander Toad, the fearless leader of the space ship STAR WARTS, gets a new assignment. His cousin Tip Toad is Secret Agent 007½. The STAR WARTS crew is supposed to fly to the planet Eden and rescue Tip. Secret Agent 007½ is also in deadly danger. If the other intergalactic spies on the planet find out who he really is, bad things could happen to Tip Toad. To make matters worse, Tip is a master of disguise and has to remain in disguise when Commander Toad and his crew try to pick him up. Commander Toad learns that Tip Toad is wearing a monster disguise, but so is every other alien on the planet! How will Commander Toad find and rescue his cousin?Jane Yolen is an award-winning children's book author as well as a writer of adult science fiction and fantasy.

Even reading the book as an adult is good entertainment, though better if shared with a child.
