"Life is pretty good for Rocket and Groot. They're having a heck of a time on a well-deserved celestial road trip until Rocket gets raccoon-napped! Taking a leaf out of his feisty, furry friend's book, Groot will have to uproot, branch out, and em-bark on a cosmic odyssey. He'll face an adventure filled with aliens, sharks, explosions and the Silver Surfer. Far out! Along the way, a world needs saving, and a ship full of mercenaries is cruising for a bruising. Is he the right tree for the job? Well, he is Groot!" -- From the publisher.
