117. Haylee and Comet

Haylee and Comet: A Tale of Cosmic Friendship. Deborah Marcero. 2021. [June] 72 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: To Haylee, wishes were magic. She made one every chance she could. On dandelion puffs....on tree frogs....and shiny pennies. But her favorite way to make a wish was on a star. But not just any star. It had to be a falling star.

Premise/plot: Haylee and Comet is an emerging reader graphic novel. It contains three stories: "The Wish," "The Friend Ship," and "The Surprise."

In the first story, Haylee, our heroine, wishes on a falling star and meets Comet. In the second story, these two new friends work together to build a ship that they ultimately call 'The Friend Ship.' In the third story, Comet tries his best to garden--so he can have a surprise for Haylee--but Comet (and readers) soon realize that flowers grow best in the ground WITHOUT his help.

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. It is the beginning of a new series. If the library orders them I'd love to keep up with the series.
