Zita-COV-FINAL-300rgb

There once was a girl who had to save the world
After to a strange outerspace planet she was hurled
She tried her best
Her friends did the rest
At the end, the planet still peacefully whirled.

I love this book!  It's just super.  We're publishing a sequel in September, Legends of Zita the Spacegirl.  If you liked the first book, we recommend you check out #2 — it has a giant cat friend for the giant mouse!  (Also there is a plot, which I will not reveal.)
