Zita the Spacegirl starts out as just an ordinary girl with a knack for getting into mischief. When Zita and her friend Joseph discover a meteoroid containing a strange device with a button, well of course Zita presses the button! They are transported to an alien world that is under threat of imminent destruction from an asteroid. Worst of all Joseph is kidnapped and Zita is left all alone in a strange and foreboding place! But it seems that Zita has a knack for making friends, and thanks to her personality and bravery finds the right friends to help her mount a rescue attempt for Joseph. A race against the clock, Zita and her new allies must overcome numerous obstacles to reach their goal and save the world. She becomes famous and that causes no end of trouble. Finally in the third book she must work with all of her many friends to save earth itself.

Please tell me you have this essential graphic novel series in your library, its top notch on all accounts. I recommend it for 2-6th grade, its wholesome, fun, and interesting with excellent artwork. This new box set is an opportunity to get all three for your library or to give as a gift.
