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!

About the Author

She/her. On Whadjuk Noongar land. NSWPRC Officer, Teacher Librarian, English teacher and social media advocate. I've been teaching in Western Sydney for my entire teaching career, and love my job more than I love Neil Gaiman. (That's a lot, in case you're wondering!) I stalk authors (but always politely), fangirl over books, and drink coffee. And one of my guilty prides about my children is that they all have favourite authors. All opinions are my own.
