![]() While as thrilling and enjoyable as ever, there is a slight downside to Return of Zita the Spacegirl because without having read the previous two books some of the characters and devices that help out seem randomly introduced. Whereas Zita’s bravery was confined to wherever she found herself previously, Hatke ups the tension here by placing Earth under threat from a covetous warlord. Unfortunately, though, not everyone sees her heroics in the same way as the people she saved, and the sample art shows her in a bit of a pickle as she’s trapped in jail. Despite carrying out a planet-saving mission in Legends of Zita the Spacegirl, the promised method of getting her home didn’t materialise, so her search continues. She’s good-natured and resourceful, but what she really wants to do is find her way back home to Earth. Over two previous volumes Ben Hatke’s Zita the Spacegirl has surely been taken to the heart of any youngster who’s read her adventures. ![]()
