Mr. Muffins: Defender of the Stars

“An adorable, exciting, and heartfelt story that turns the ‘chosen one’ trope on its big floppy ear… The concept — a corgi with superpowers — grabs your attention immediately, and I am delighted to report that the rest of the book more than follows through. What I especially love is how the book pairs sci-fi action and clever, snarky comedy with deeper lessons about how war affects ordinary people, and how no group of people — even the ’bad guys’ — is a monolith. 10⁄10, no notes.” * Book Riot, Best Books of 2025 so Far *
“Mr. Muffins truly has it all: epic space battles, heartwarming moments, and a super-powered corgi.” * Shelf Awareness *
“Adorable… This book is not only hilarious and filled with plenty of action, it also contains important and timely messages about showing compassion for our fellow beings, no matter where they come from or what they look like, and appreciation for where we ourselves come from.” * Book Riot *
“Kahn and Brooks’ playful intergalactic adventure is filled with both comedy and space-battle action made all the more delightful by the cheerful, adorable corgi, who travels on a rainbow beam through space to defeat their enemies.[…] Middle-graders looking for the intersection of action-adventure and adorable should look no further.” * Booklist *
“Mr. Muffins is adorable and will win the hearts of readers…An incredible tale for sci-fi fans. Purchase also for graphic novel readers and those who love to read about animals.” * School Library Journal *
“An enchanting space opera in which aliens and humans find common ground despite differing cultures, foods, and worlds, and learn the true meaning of home. ” * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
