Description

Out of This World: Planetfall by Sally Odgers – Illustrated by Matt Lin (2007)

The Spacesports Sub-Series – Book 3 of 8

This series features manga-styled graphics and illustrated novels with exciting sci-fi plots to engage even the most reluctant readers.  Each of the three series follows a different group of characters as they explore outer space.

Landing on a planet is freaky when you’ve always lived on a Space Station and even freakier if your guide is clueless.  Gold Team is preparing for a sports match against another space station’s team.  Between a stowaway who has changed the journey coordinates, their complete inexperience with the surface conditions of any planet, and the bog-monster; Gold Team could just be in heaps of trouble!

This graphic novel has been written to give middle primary students an entertaining introduction to the hugely influential and popular manga genre.  It’s fast, funny, accessible and age-appropriate.  There’s also information on how to read the visual and verbal language of manga, and a glossary character guide.
