Art, Myrtle, and Father are involved in an adventure in outer space. Their house, Larklight, floats in space as a very different house. Pirates and huge spiders with strong silky webs help Art and Myrtle discover sensational tales about their mother, father, and England. This is a sometimes humorous and sometimes scary tale that continues in two more books. This is the first in the series followed by Starcross and then Mothstorm.
