After defeating the hunter-like robots, the group proceeds to the castle when the guards catch them. As the group approaches the castle, Piper appears to help them fight hunter-like robots. While on their way to the castle, Zita makes new friends with other robots that are willing to help her save Joseph. Piper will stay at his home to fix the device and Mouse will help Zita make her way to the castle where the robot that took Joseph lives. Piper and his friend Mouse come up with a plan so everyone can escape and Joseph can be rescued from the robot that took him. Zita makes friends with a Piper, who plans on rebuilding the device that zapped Zita and Joseph to that planet so they can all escape before the asteroid hits. Zita desperately searches for help to find a way to find Joseph and get back home. Zita and her friend Joseph are immediately separated when they arrive because Joseph gets taken away by a robot with tentacles. Zita and her friend Joseph are zapped far from Earth into another world/planet that is about to get hit by an asteroid. Summary: Zita the Spacegirl, is about a young girl named Zita who gets zapped far from Earth. Due to the vocabulary in the book and broken language used by certain characters, I think this book would be best for fourth-grade students and up. I think it would help students realize there are several different types of books to chose from if certain students prefer more picture-based readings a book like this is a good fit.

Teacher Evaluation: I would use this book in class to show my students that not all books have the same format, for instance, this science fiction book is a graphic novel. Title: Zita The Spacegirl Book One: Far From HomeĪwards: The Amelia Bloomer Book List Award (2012)
