Ketchup Power And The Starship Meatloaf — Jerry Piasecki

The crew of the Starship Meatloaf travels from the year 6789 to the present in order to find the lost recipe for ketchup, the fuel of the future. As they move back in time, the crew members become kids. They enroll in an elementary school where they join a home ec class in hopes of making lots of ketchup-soaked meatloaves to fuel their spaceship back to the future. Standing in the way of their secret mission are Beula and Bertha Butterman, two evil lunchroom ladies with an appetite for meatloaf and suspicions about what the new kids in the school are up to. This is one of two Starship Meatloaf titles. Both will be published in October 1997.
