Shellno: My niece asks for Cleopatra in Space books all the time and I'm happy to buy them for her. Fast shipping and great condition upon arrival.

Dannan Tavona: Space opera YA comic teen girl heroine
Cleopatra is princess bored with school work; she has a lot of luck and the disposition of a tomboy (funny how we describe an athletic girl by using a stereo-type). This is a princess who doesn't need to be saved. Well done. Book 2 is on the wish list. Recommended, especially for young women -- who need more positive non-passive role models.

Anne Beardsley: My daughter has had trouble with her reading skills. She's 10 and reads at about a second grade level. This comic has been great because the subject matter appeals to her age group without being too hard for her to read. There are not many words on each page, so she gets to turn pages quickly and feel like she's making lots of progress. There are also some challenging words, but they aren't so hard that they are discouraging.

My son (8, and with a much higher reading level than my daughter) has also taken an interest in this book. He likes comic books anyway and has been reading Dogman avidly. I really like that the protagonist is female, but her character and the setting can appeal to both boys and girls.

Melissa Winter: Excellent book for children aged 7-12

Review from a 10 YEAR OLD avid reader of graphic novels:
I like this book because it was really good and interesting and i think it was an amazing book to read.There was lots of action and fighting and time travel. I didn't pick 5 stars because there were some parts in the book were i couldn't understand parts and some parts were weird which could be kinda interesting. So i really really LIKE the book. You should read it one day and find out how amazing this book really is. CLEOPATRA in space is one of my favorite books in the world. I want to be helpful to whoever is thinking about buying this book.And here is one option YES.If you read this book already please be sure to share your thoughts and ideas with other people so you can share how wonderful of a book this is. So take your time and think right now if you are interested in getting this book. Hope you like it or even love it. Bye.

C. M. Millar: My 8 year old loves comics and Egypt - this comic combines both. It is also perfectly suitable for a younger comic reading audience. I recommend this for girls and boys who are interested in an Egyptian tinged space adventure!

Mr. Roy Williams: The book cover looks soo good.I couldn't help myself.I just bought it on impulse.
I wasn't disappointed in any way ! It re imagines Cleo in the modern age and does an absolutely marvellous job.
The Scholastic brand is pretty good and supports some of the best graphic novels out there.
Cleo is a butt kicker who simply rules ! She's a bit of a rebel but only because she's bursting with ideas and energy.
The hairdo is a brilliant touch too.The start of the novel is so fast paced that it 'draws' you in and just keeps you there,turning the pages eager to follow her amazing story.The humour is terrific with just the right amount of understatement to give it a double edge.
Such as 'when you are Queen,you will need to know all this stuff' (school education)
Cleo replies 'if I'm Queen,I'll just order you to do it for me' !
That's my kind of Gal ! Get out there and reorder the Universe,I'll be right behind you.(just a few pages away)
I was looking for a new graphic novel after finishing the Zita,the Spacegirl trilogy from Ben Hatke - this'll do very nicely,thanks.

Jeremy: Wonderful read - my only exposure to this was the available preview, which was enough to motivate me to buy - and I wasn't let down. The characters are likeable and I can't wait to read more of their adventures. The premise is original and dramatic but never too heavy, with a strong protagonist and many memorable moments. The art is cute and colourful, making the world feel very vivid and alive - the entire experience was like having an animated cartoon in my hands thanks to the strong expression work and posing.

This work is suitable for all ages, and like the best examples of such works, it doesn't pander or patronise, meaning this was enjoyable to me as an adult too. Just an out-and-out quality romp.

I went for a 4-star rather than 5-star rating because a couple of moments did seem a little bit of an info-dump about the world, which while I'm sure we will be reminded of in subsequent volumes as concepts or characters become relevant, didn't make them any less overwhelming to read due to all the alien names and such. And secondly, while it's quality entertainment with plenty of heart, it never gave me -strong- feelings of excitement or empathy for the characters -...

Eddie Pittman: A review by my 12-year-old daughter, Ginny:

Cleopatra in Space Book One: Target Practice by Mike Maihack was completely awesome! This book is a great start for what I can tell is going to be an epic series. Action-packed from the very beginning, it has no shortage of fun surprises.

Cleopatra in Space is about — you guessed it — the Cleopatra of ancient Egypt, in space. The idea is brilliant! Mike Maihack mixes a historical figure up with futuristic sci-fi awesomeness — two of my favorite genres (Pharaohs are even better with lazer guns!). In the story, 15-year-old Cleo gets zapped forward in time, where she meets a council of... wait for it... talking cats!!! She learns that she is the foretold savior, destined to deliver them from the Xerx, an evil alien force that wages war against the Nile Galaxy. But is a teenage girl up to that task?

I love that Cleo is just a normal teenager, freaking out over mismatched socks and hating algebra. She's easily relatable to a teen of today, yet she's still the Cleopatra of history; A royal princess that will someday be the ruler of Egypt.

She has a really cute design, with just enough Egyptian-ness and just...
