Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity

What a funny, weird little story! I don't really know what I thought this was about, but I wasn't expecting it to be so gleefully goofy. Great for tweens-adults, includes a diverse & adorable cast of little space students who take classes in stuff like “Anti-Gravity Gymnastics” and “Driving Dinosaurs.” More than anything this reminded me of Scott Pilgrim Jr, but in space.

Also I would just like to mention that there is a panel where a robot speaks entirely in Tori Amos references: “Caught a light sneeze, but at least they didn't ruin my precious things. But it looks like I'll be putting the damage on.” I feel like this book's intended audience probably does not appreciate that joke, but I would like to take a moment here to acknowledge it.
