review:
'Cleopatra In Space' finds a young Cleopatra (you know, the Egyptian royal one) sent into the far future. It seems she is destined to save the galaxy and the future has need of her. Unfortunately, Cleopatra finds out that even in the future, she can't escape algebra class.
It turns out the future is ruled by intelligent cats. Cleopatra is enrolled in Yasiro Academy, where she excels in combat training rather than in normal subjects like biology and alien languages. She gets a roomate named Akila to help her acclimate to the school (and the future).
It's written for younger readers and it's fun. It's good to see strong female protagonists. Young Cleo talks back to authority and I found her loathing of math a bit annoying. These may not be traits for younger readers to model, but it's all a lot of fun to read. The art is bright and the story is funny and full of adventure. I enjoyed it.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Graphix (Scholastic) and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to read this fun graphic novel.
