Bookroo's summary
Zita's world flips upside down when her best friend is snatched by an alien cult. Thrust into a bizarre universe, she encounters humanoid chickens, neurotic robots, and a mysterious con man. As Zita embraces her unexpected role as an intergalactic hero, she faces ancient prophecies and doomed planets. Can she navigate this strange world and rescue her friend before it's too late? Adventure, friendship, and redemption await in this whimsical cosmic journey.
From the publisher
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Zita’s life took a cosmic left turn in the blink of an eye. When her best friend is abducted by an alien doomsday cult, Zita leaps to the rescue and finds herself a stranger on a strange planet. Humanoid chickens and neurotic robots are shocking enough as new experiences go, but Zita is even more surprised to find herself taking on the role of intergalactic hero. Before long, aliens in all shapes and sizes don’t even phase her. Neither do ancient prophecies, doomed planets, or even a friendly con man who takes a mysterious interest in Zita’s quest. Zita the Spacegirl is a fun, captivating tale of friendship and redemption from Flight veteran Ben Hatke. It also has more whimsical, eye-catching, Miyazaki-esque monsters than you can shake a stick at.
