Legends of Zita the Spacegirl
by: Ben Hatke
J Graphic Novel Hat

Cathy says:

Sequels often disappoint. Not so in Legends of Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke. Zita’s heroic actions in book one have only complicated her efforts to make it back home to Earth. An imprint-o-tron has morphed into her double, taking over her life. Hatke, born and raised in Indiana, takes full advantage of the graphic novel format creating an imaginative range of characters. Enjoy the wordplay.

Jen says:

Minnie McClary Speaks Her Mind is a wonderfully written book about a young girl who does not fit in. She has recently moved to a new school where her teacher inspires her to find the courage to speak up for herself. This book allows children to understand how language and word choices affect how we think about things. It inspires children to ask more questions and to not be afraid of sharing their thoughts. I would recommend this book to any young reader!
