This graphic novel is full of exciting sci-fi action which I think would appeal to both girls and boys. The action is non stop and so the story moves along quite quickly. Zeta is a brave and courageous heroine who has saved Scriptorian's planet. Her adventures have made her a superstar and everyone wants her autograph but she finds out that fame comes at a price. Zeta finds having fans exhausting so jumps at the chance to flee the spotlight when a robotic Zita lookalike appears.
I like this graphic novel as it reveals deeper messages around the value of fame and identity. The graphic novel also has good artwork with vivid colours and is easy to understand. It certainly doesn't disappoint.
This was simply an amazing book. It was completely unexpected and delightful. My favourite character was Strong Strong because he is always there to help people. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat.

It was very cool that Zita controlled a giant robot and the robot wanted to keep her in him for ever and then Robot Zita came along and he took Zita's place and let the robot keep Robot Zita and then there was a big explosion and they both got exploded into little pieces!
