Jason Furman's Reviews > Mighty Jack and Zita the Spacegirl

The Zita the Spacegirl trilogy was fantastic. I read the first one myself and then read and re-read them numerous times with my children. They were creative, funny, intriguing, whimsical, humane, and altogether a real joy. Several years later Ben Hatke is back with a sequel that merges the story with his Might Jack series. It was worth reading but veered further a tick further into silly and incoherent in a way that made it fall short of its outstanding predecessors.
