Zita is walking home from school with a friend of her's when they come across a crater they have never seen before. In it is a small remote with a big red button in the middle. Zita taunts her friend and pushes the button. Immediately he is sucked into a vortex, and Zita is left alone. She knows she needs to go after him and nervously pushes the button again and jumps through the portal. She is transported to another planet with robots and creatures she has never seen before. She quickly realizes she is not in any place familiar and needs to save her friend from the robots that kidnapped him.
Zita The Space Girl is a graphic novel. It is very vivid and colorful which adds to the engagement of the students! At times I found it hard to follow, but overall it was a quick book to read with an interesting story line. Graphic novels are becoming very popular with elementary children. I would really like to have these in my classroom. They introduce new and different text features such as text boxes, dialogue bubbles, thought bubbles, and sounds. I think this would be fun to have in the classroom.
