I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
The pair last worked together with the sterling effort that was [[Oliver and the Seawigs by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre|Oliver and the Seawigs]]. More sci-fi for this age group can be had with [[Jedi Academy 2: Return of the Padawan by Jeffrey Brown]]. ''Cakes in Space'' is decidedly better than [[Space Pirates: Stowaway by Jim Ladd]].
