Zita the Spacegirl by Ben HatkeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't normally read graphic novels (comic books) but this was good. The illustrations were very good as was the story line. This is definitely a series so if you want to find out what happens to Zita, you have to read the subsequent volumes.
This would be a good book for reluctant readers, as it is told in comic format. The pages turn fast and the reader could get through this book very quickly. And they would want to read the next book in the series!
It's another children's fiction nominee for the Utah Beehive Book Award.
The plot (from Goodreades.com): When her best friend is abducted by an alien doomsday cult, Zita leaps to the rescue and finds herself a stranger on a strange planet. Humanoid chickens and neurotic robots are shocking enough as new experiences go, but Zita is even more surprised to find herself taking on the role of intergalactic hero. Before long, aliens in all shapes and sizes don’t even phase her. Neither do ancient prophecies, doomed planets, or even a friendly con man who takes a mysterious interest in Zita’s quest.
Zita the Spacegirl is a fun, captivating tale of friendship and redemption from Flight veteran Ben Hatke. It also has more whimsical, eye-catching, Miyazaki-esque monsters than you can shake a stick at.
Now I am reading The Mayan Secrets by Clive Cussler.
