The Return of Zita the Spacegirl

Yep,it's brilliant..,again !Smashing characters and fascinating story,nothing has been left out.I was hoping,near the end of the book,that it would say 'to be continued'.....,sadly not..,boo hoo.I love graphic novels and this was an amazing find,good old Ben Hatke.(and family)Be wary of having 4 daughters though,'cos it seems you may be forced to create a graphic novel series.Still,if it was good enough for the mighty Egyptians..,it's good enough for little ol' me,I love 'em !I must admit to being a little disturbed at one point when Zita appeared to be beaten down after working in the mines.But hey,that was just a trick from a genius writer to pull the wool over our eyes before.....,POW !Zita was back to her feisty self again,saving this,that and the others too...,.marvelous stuff,I want more..and when do I want it....,Yes,NOW !!I'm pleased that Joseph got to join in the adventure,we thought he was..,er...,gone.But NO ! The 'deception' (blech !) was a master stroke that had me fooled,I can tell you.It was soo genuine.Piper and Madrigal getting back together,who would have thought ?I also like the spark of recognition of the Leviathan when Zita pulled off one of it's power cords...,nice touch..,ahem.I liked the whole book !But there were some 11/10 moments,that's all.Zita being yanked over by her chains and noticing the Ghost.Oh..,and the charges......a pattern emerges...,fantastic.Oh..oh..,and the amazing Floof gun..,Oh Come On !!I could easily go on.....and on..,but to save me the trouble.....,please read the novel.This volume also contains the very entertaining origins of Zita,the crime....,ah,no..,the Space girl ! (with costume)Which reminds me..,the evolution of Femur and Raggy.Hoo boy,has this book got the lot or what ?!

Great book. My kids loved Zita. I liked the story too. We have all books from the series and cant wait for the next.

Zita is a wonderful character and the stories and illustrations are so rich they are a great pleasure to read and share. Good for boys to read about girls who are interesting and multi-faceted. Good for girls too. All the genders and ages in our family love this book.

A much needed adventure book for young, restless girls.

My daughter loves the Zita books I highly recommend them for kids under about 12.Thery're a lot of fun.
