Star Girl - Paperback
by Henry Winterfeld (Author), Fritz Wegner (Illustrator), Kyrill Schabert (Translator)
"Science fiction and space travel take a sprightly turn," declared Kirkus Reviews of this illustrated tale of a girl who tumbles to Earth from her father's spaceship. The young alien encounters a group of children eager to help her find her way home, but the kids will have to defy the unbelieving grown-ups.
Years ahead of its time, Star Girl was originally published in the 1950s, when interest in space travel and extraterrestrials was approaching new levels. Since then, the book has become a beloved cult classic. This new edition offers the next generation of young readers an ideal introduction to the imaginative delights of science fiction.
Author and artist Henry Winterfeld (1901-90) emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1940. His novels for children and young adults include Castaways in Lilliput and Trouble at Timpetill. He also wrote under the pseudonym Manfred Michael.
