Zita the Space Girl by Ben Hatke


This is a book I heard of through the grapevine - and I loved it, loved it, loved it. It seems that where comic books are available, children will read them - I enjoy the format myself, but often the values are less than stellar, even while the color, format, and adventure draw you into the story. This is about a girl with real courage - not just the earth-saving kind, but the "fess up when you're wrong" kind, the "fix it if you did wrong" kind - and the being kind kind. Without sacrificing story. So I loved it. And all the sci-fi, amazing creatures and funny and/or beautiful bits are just cream.
