This is absolutely terrific - a SPACE series for young girls from the creator of the spy series Zac Power Test Drive. Star Girl is a brand new tween fantasy adventure series of books perfectly crafted for young readers - especially girls, who are just starting to handle chapter books ... and of course who want space adventures.
In the first series of 8 titles Addie Banks is a Space Cadet (in the later series she progresses to Space Captain and then Space Agent). Addie is in a boarding school - on a space station and she is learning how to protect space. At the same time she also has to learn how to cope with some of the other school girls on the station who don't quite think Addie is up to joining the Space Agent program. She has amazing gadgets including a SpaceBerry communicator and a holographic watch - and of course lots of space cleverness too!
In this first title -New Girl- Addie has to discover why the alien life forms are in danger on one of the planets where the ice is melting. But the aliens are not her only danger. Her roommate creates dangers of her own. And like many schools there are scoreboards for the top students and also for the school houses ... points for these are accumulated, or deducted, from the space adventures.
These 78 page books have generous sized text, perfect for the younger reader, and lots of illustrations.
Other titles include
#2 Odd One Out
#3 Winning Moves
#4 Three’s a Crowd
