The first time the reader meets Zita she has run away with her friend Joseph’s notebook. I immediately liked them both. And here’s why I begin this review with that statement: Ben Hatke and his wife are the real deal! Here’s a virtual introduction: Ben and his wife have four daughters and, when you talk to them, you cannot help but be mesmerized by their energy and passion for life, children, and story. That said, here’s my prediction for Zita the Spacegirl Zita, her adventures, her friends, her foes, and her writer (and his family) are all going to find themselves a very secure place in the annals of young adult literature. Prediction put bluntly: Zita the Spacegirl will turn out to be a very popular and well-known series that stands the test of time. I met Ben Hatke and his wife last fall at the New York City Comic Con.
