A really rubbish adventure...in outer space Harvey Drew is an ordinary eleven-ye
ar-old who dreams of great adventures in outer space. The Toxic Spew is an inter
galactic waste disposal ship. The two are on a collision course for chaos! After
Harvey unwittingly responds to an alien signal, he is transported to the flight
deck of The Toxic Spew by the ship's bad-tempered computer, who promptly loses
his return address.
Even though none of the crew have even heard of Earth, le
t alone met an Earthling, Harvey becomes Captain of the stroppy, pizza-obsessed,
brave (but grubby) crew, and almost immediately has to save them from poisonous
pink maggots, dangerous exploding space-rubbish and a multiple spaceship pile-u
p on Hyperspaceway B16. Luckily, leading his rabble crew out of danger isn't so
different from captaining his football team, and it turns out Harvey is just the
boy to save the day!
