Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates (Fantasy and Science Fiction Graphic Novel)

Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates is a science fiction graphic novel written by Patrick O'Brien and Kevin O'Malley and illustrated by Patrick O'Brien. Captain Raptor is called to save the day after pirates raid and rob Planet Jurassica. He and his crew aboard the Megatooth run into several obstacles during their pursuit of the pirates, yet Captain Raptor has a solution for each problem they encounter. Through his cunning plans, he is able to disable the pirates and their ship. The inhabitants of Planet Jurassica are forever grateful to have their jewels returned. I would use this book in my classroom to introduce different styles of writing. Not only is this book science fiction, it is also a graphic novel. I would have students write their own comics after reading this book. I also feel that this book is great because it is part of a series. If students enjoy this book, they can access other similar books at the library.
