A great read, and a great set of steps! School For Extraterrestrial Girls: Girl on Fire is the first in a middle grade graphic novel series by @jrome58 and @jamienoguchi about a boarding school for alien teenagers who have found themselves living on Earth. Tara has always wanted to be extraordinary – but spontaneously combusting in the middle of math class probably wasn’t what she had in mind! After the shock discovery that she is, in fact, an alien, she has the choice to be deported to a far off planet, or to attend the School for Extraterrestrial Girls, where she still leans maths and science, but also galaxy civics and controlling (and accepting!) her powers. This is a super-fun graphic novel – the highlight for me is definitely Kat, the feline alien who lives for snuggles and drama, and who wears a Jellicle AF sweater. Gold!
