Savvy's Reviews
Not sure you want to dig into that new book? Let Savvy do the hard work for you! Here's her latest review!
Alright y’all here we go, the first review for a book I didn’t finish! I know you’re probably asking “Well how can you review a book you haven’t read?” Well I’m still here to tell you all about it. I’m a firm believer that every song in the world is someone’s favorite. So just because I didn’t enjoy this book doesn’t mean you wouldn’t.
Today we are talking about the graphic novel School for Extraterrestrial Girls: Girl on Fire by Jeremy Whitley and Jamie Noguchi. Now if you're a fan of StarTrek or X-Men, I think you would really enjoy this book. It follows fifteen year old Tara Smith whose parents are hard and strict about her daily routine. Up at the same time everyday, strict about homework and that garbage gets taken out every night, all like clockwork.
But one day the power goes out and Tara’s alarm clock doesn’t go off. Late for school, she runs out of the house without her trusty watch that her parents always make her wear. This is the start of something extraordinary; something Tara has been waiting for her whole life but just might not be ready for. Just when she thought her day couldn’t get any worse, she bursts into flames in front of the whole class. She can’t feel it, though, and suddenly she’s outed as an extraterrestrial and turning into something… else.
She’s then captured by the government and offered two options: 1. Get shipped back to her ‘home planet’ of which she has no memory or 2. Attend the school for other extraterrestrial girls like her. Tara’s goal, now, is to learn how to harness her powers and figure out the mystery of who really raised her, because they weren’t her real parents. Tara must rely on others for the first time in her life to figure out who she really is and where she really comes from before she is kidnapped a second time.
This looks like a promising series from Whitley and Noguchi and maybe one day I’ll pick it back up. But for now, you can call and check it out yourself. Let me know what you thought of this one!
