This is the fifth book in the enormously popular "Penny The Pencil" series, which sees our heroine on a new adventure that's out of this world. It's space week at Ralph's school and with the chance to attend a space camp and build a real test rocket up for grabs, rivalry reaches fever pitch. With the help of Gloop, space-pen Sputnik (the new arrival in the pencil case) and all the other pencils, Penny is stretched to the limit to prevent her arch enemy Black Texta destroying Ralph's chances. But even if they succeed, can Penny keep Ralph on course through space camp and just how far will Black Texta go?
