Editorial Reviews

Gr 4-6–Corona Hoshino is the epitome of a good class president: she’s popular, hardworking, and a big people-pleaser. This last trait is what compels her to bond with nerdy Lan Tsukishima over a boring, dorky TV show. Though she’s just trying to cheer him up by pretending to like Space Patrol, Lan takes her seriously and recruits her to become part of the real Space Patrol. That’s right, the show is just PR for humans. The hope is that it will ease them into accepting space travel and aliens. At first, Corona resists the training, but once she realizes that the cadets keep score, she’s in it to be #1! Unfortunately, Lan and the instructor are hopelessly lazy, which means that Corona has to work that much harder. Funny and teeth-gnashingly cute, this full-color manga is sure to appeal to lots of readers. The Space Patrol is filled with silly aliens and pretty swan boats that serve as spaceships. Going with Corona to discover what lies in the vast reaches of space is great fun.–Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA
