A hound-dog captain loses his voice, a small girl loses her words, and together they find a song neither one could sing alone.
++
Captain Cruiser Candoo can do almost anything.
Lead a rock band across the galaxy? check
Battle the evil Silencers? check
Rescue a friend from Admiral Andrack's dungeon? ...Usually check
But after a disastrous mission leaves Cruiser exposed to the dark effects of Qwaedon, the unthinkable happens:
The Skallywaggles' fearless front-dog loses his voice.
Unable to sing, speak, or perform, Cruiser is rushed to the secret Celeste Medical Space Station, where healing comes with bizarre vocal exercises, embarrassing lip-buzzes, and a therapist who believes silly noises can save lives.
Then Cruiser meets Hattie - a small girl who hasn't spoken since the Silencers destroyed her world.
And Stenson - a former enemy searching for a second chance.
As therapy sessions, music circles, tea parties, and one wonderfully ridiculous song begin to change everything, Cruiser discovers that healing isn't about perfection... or even finding your own voice.
Sometimes healing begins when you help someone else find theirs.
Funny, heartfelt, and filled with music, friendship, humor, and hope, Captain Cando Can't: The Healing Power of Music is a powerful middle-grade adventure about courage, trauma, kindness, and the extraordinary power of being heard.
Perfect for readers who love:
- The Wild Robot
- Dog Man with more heart and music
- Galaxy-spanning adventures with emotional depth
- Stories about friendship, healing, and resilience
- Humor, animals, space, and unforgettable characters
Includes:
+ Music-themed adventure
+ Voice therapy & science connections
+ Discussion questions for classrooms, families, and book clubs
+ Big heart, big laughs, and BIG Skallywaggles energy!
Because sometimes the most important gig... is helping someone heal.
