The shape of this universe.
The Cosmic Adventures of Astrid and Stella is a candy-coloured graphic novel series from Sabrina and Eunice Moyle, the Hello!Lucky sisters, about two best friends who rocket across the galaxy in matching space suits with their trusty robot, Bobo. Powered by snacks, dance breaks and the mottos "We can do hard things!" and "Progress not perfection!", the girls visit cuddly and chaotic planets, foil silly tyrants, patch up friendship wobbles and face their fears, all in short, bright, pun-packed volumes. Beneath the trippy visuals and non-stop wordplay sits a gentle social-emotional core about teamwork, resilience, forgiveness and kindness. Hugely accessible and endlessly re-readable, the series is an ideal early graphic novel for newly independent readers who want to laugh their way through space.
A goofy, candy-coloured early graphic novel series about two best friends, a robot and a galaxy of silliness, with real heart underneath.
