Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I finished Legends of Zita the Spacegirl today–it’s been hanging out in my bathroom drawer–and I did rather like the premise of what happens after the world-saving.  It still moves quickly enough that even the “she might die/get caught/crash” scenes barely have time to impact the reader (the series is obviously geared toward the younger end of its audience), but the story still feels fully defined; it’s a solid sequel.  If you or someone you find books for are interested in easier sci-fi and/or graphic novels, Zita should be on your list.

Okay, that was a short review, but a longer one didn’t feel terribly necessary.  In the meantime, my apple may be gone, but I still have a spoon and an open jar of Trader Joe’s cookie butter; who could ask for anything more?
