Cleopatra in Space: Target Practice

Cleopatra in Space: Target Practice introduces readers to a 15-year-old Cleopatra who is mysteriously transported from Ancient Egypt to a far-future galaxy populated by sentient cats and advanced technology. She quickly learns she is the subject of an ancient prophecy, destined to defeat the tyrannical Xaius Octavian. The story follows her as she enrolls in the elite P.Y.R.A.M.I.D. academy, where she struggles with academics but excels in combat training, all while forming a close-knit group of friends. This graphic novel blends action-packed space adventure with relatable high school drama, exploring themes of identity, friendship, and courage. It's ideal for readers aged 8-11 who enjoy science fiction, historical figures reimagined, and strong female protagonists. Parents should note the series involves battles and character deaths, but these are handled in a non-graphic, age-appropriate manner.

Mysteriously zapped thousands of years into the future, a teenaged Cleopatra discovers that she is destined to save the galaxy, a prophecy that compels her to enrol in a high-tech school where she can learn modern subjects, alien languages, and combat fighting.
