The Cosmic Adventures of Astrid and Stella (Cosmic Adventures of Astrid and Stella #1)

Blast off in a new out-of-this world graphic novel series from the bestselling creators Hello!Lucky

Meet Astrid and Stella! These best friends are ready to fire up the turbo blasters and take off into the stratosphere! They'll just need a few things before it's time to go: their special space suits, lots and lots of snacks, and their trusty robot Bobo. When things go sideways, Astrid and Stella always rely on their go-to mottos to get them out of sticky situations: "We can do hard things!" and "Progress not perfection!"

In their very first adventure, Astrid and Stella will discover the cute and cuddly planet Caturn and the beach-covered planet Bloop. At each stop, they'll meet new pals, solve friendship conundrums, and stop one evil tyrant--with lots of dance breaks and snack attacks along the way. It's all in a lightyear's work for these intergalactic pals!

Kirkus Reviews

Astrid and Stella make an adorable pair; scenes of them on the pool-party planet with their beach umbrella and floaties are especially sweet. . .Like being enveloped in a nonstop hug.

Publishers Weekly

In three chaotic chapters, the ever-effervescent Hello!Lucky team (You Are Fantastic!) launches a graphic novel series starring two high-flying BFFs: Astrid, a unicorn with an Elvis-worthy pink mane, and Stella, a tangerine-hued flying squirrel. Chapter 1 finds the duo's space travel plans derailed when their rocket explodes on the launch pad, and Astrid admits setting the turbo pump to "deep fry" rather than "blast off" ("I was feeling a little peckish"). Declaring in rat-a-tat-tat progression "We can do hard things," "Mistakes are proof you're trying," and "Progress, not perfection!" they turn to their Jeeves-like robot butler, Bobo, to build a new rocket, pausing for snacks and a dance break. Hurtling into Chapter 2 and a rescue mission to Caturn ("Cutest planet in the galaxy"), they liberate the adorable kitty population from a Blofeld wannabe named Kittywonkus. And in the concluding chapter's visit to beachy Bloop, they give a socially awkward whale a confidence boost by proffering swim goggles and advice. With irrepressible protagonists, non-stop wordplay, and trippy, candy-colored visuals, this book leans hard into cartoon-level cuteness and cheer. Ages 6-9. (Sept.)
