The Return of Zita the Spacegirl (Book #3) by Ben Hatke -ADVISABLE

Hatke, Ben  The Return of Zita the Spacegirl (Book #3) 240 pgs. First Second, 2014. $12.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G GRAPHIC NOVEL
Book 3 of this series, Zita the Spacegirl, has been captured and exiled to a prison planet. She finds out that the alien warden has decided to takeover Earth. After numerous escape attempts, Zita meets up with an unexpected ally. When all of Zita’s many friends find out she is danger and where she is, things converge to attempt to help her.
I have been a HUGE fan of Zita the Spacegirl and the students at the school LOVE her too! But this third book feels like a conclusion to the series. I wish that it had been drawn out longer. All of Zita’s friends make an appearance in this book, but I wish we had more adventures with them.  I just wanted to get to know this world and its characters even more. Everything is very epic and large, which is fun, but in book 10 of a series not so soon. It just all moved to fast for me. My least favorite in the series. The artwork is fantastic as always, students will clamor for this newest Zita.
