Commander Toad and the Voyage Home: 02/28/08
Commander Toad and the Voyage Home is the seventh and final book in the Commander Toad series by Jane Yolen. This time the series is parodying the "Lost Planet of the Gods" episode from the original Battlestar Galactica.

Commander Toad and his crew want to go home for some well needed shore leave. Unfortunately when they ask the computer to take them "home" they don't specify earth. The ship's autopilot takes them somewhere very different indeed.

The series ends with the crew of the Star Warts rediscovering their heritage and making some amazing amphibipological discoveries in the process. Of course, Commander Toad in his usual boneheaded fashion has to leave his own mark on the Home.

Of the seven books, Commander Toad and the Voyage Home is my favorite.

Here are the reviews of all the books in the series:

• Commander Toad and the Big Black Hole
• Commander Toad and the Dis-Asteroid
• Commander Toad and the Intergalactic Spy
• Commander Toad and the Planet of the Grapes
• Commander Toad in Space
• Commander Toad and the Space Pirates
• Commander Toad and the Voyage Home
