I'm new to graphic novels so I'm not sure how common it is for the first one to not have that much story in it? But that was what was lacking for me here. It felt sort of sparse, as though they could have gone into more detail about the little that there was.
That being said, the art is really beautiful. Cleo and Akila especially are beautifully drawn. It's definitely a unique idea and I'll keep going with it to see how the next one turns out.

Over all impression was fine...but not sure if I will track down the other volumes as they're released. Maybe wait an binge read them all together when it's completed.

The art is terrific, the story was mostly setup. I was underwhelmed by this one, but middle graders love it.

This is not the Elizabeth Taylor style Cleopatra; this one is way more fun and handy with a weapon. The illustrations elicit a range of emotion and the content is appropriate for advanced elementary and middle school readers.

Well now, this was quite interesting.
For young readers, a nice interplay between ancient and futuristic history. Also, a nice display of the know-it-all becoming the know-nothing. Fun example of the difficulties in responsibilities, personal wants vs. community needs, and the trials of making friends.

Cleopatra moves from Ancient Egypt forward in time to a planet ruled by cats. Cleo finds out that she is the answer to a prophecy and that she will be the savior of the planet. Cleo has never liked school, but in addition to the subjects that she hates, she finds that on this new planet, she is allowed to use all of her skills.
Target Practice is the first book in the Cleopatra in Space series and introduces readers to the main character and her role in this future world. There is a lot of action but little dialogue, keeping the story fast moving, but not really explaining things like why Cleo must be the one to save this world of cats. Overall, Target Practice does establish characters and settings that will be important in upcoming books.
