I enjoyed the puns and the obvious satire of both Star Wars and Star Trek--at first. The narrative started out as funny and entertaining but I got bored with it overall. I could see it appealing to members of the target age group, but I don't think it's necessarily something that will have a wide range, regardless of the penguins.

For: fans of penguins or sci-fi; fans of satire.

Possible red flags: peril.
