Publisher's Synopsis
Harvey is an ordinary 11-year-old who dreams of adventures in outer space. The Toxic Spew is an intergalactic waste disposal ship. The two are on a collision course for chaos! After Harvey unwittingly responds to an alien signal, he is transported to the the Toxic Spew by the ship's computer, who promptly loses his return address. Even though none of the crew have heard of Earth, Harvey becomes captain of the stroppy, pizza-obsessed, brave (but grubby) crew. However, almost at once, he has to save them from poisonous pink maggots, exploding space rubbish and a huge pile-up on Hyperspaceway B16!
