Why read it?
2 authors picked Zita the Spacegirl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ben Hatke can build worlds, and then some. Zita’s character design is amazingly detailed, yet also spontaneous and never out of reach for any kid looking to create operatic space comics of their very own.
I read this with my own children and I couldn’t say which one of us had more fun.
From Mark's list on middle grade to inspire you to draw comics.
When Zita and her friend Joseph are playing in a field, they find a button, a really weird red button.
Zita pushes it. And boom – a portal opens, tentacles come out, and Joseph is sucked into another world. Probably shouldn’t have pressed that button.
This book with all kinds of fun aliens in a fantasy sci-world is a blast! Zita gets into all kinds of trouble, but is a loyal friend in her search for Joseph.
I love the imagination and energy and the art is colorful and bold.
From J. C.'s list on young readers featuring a strong female protagonist.
