Saving the world? That's the easy part! Dealing with crushes, friendships, being a tween, and your potentially evil ex best friend is where things get hard! Kira and Catacorn return in the exciting and hilarious new adventure in the Magic Girls series!

To Kira and Catacorn, her best friend from outer space, being a magical girl is basically routine! With their teamwork down pat, there's nothing they can't do - well, almost nothing! With the latest magical girl battle season on break Kira and Catacorn can turn their attention to the next exciting battle in town: the feud between their school's sports team and pep rally team! When a mysterious cool and cute boy joins the team, Kira dives head first into becoming the mascot.

But Kira isn't the only person getting into new things - it seems Tulip, the most popular magical girl in town, has been turning suspiciously edgey and mean lately- even being rude with Catacorn? Could her dark turn have anything to do with Kira's mistakes? And more importantly - is Kira going to have to do something about it?

Don't miss Kira and Catacorn's first adventure in Kira and the (Maybe) Space Princess!

"The fun, whimsical energy of the busy artwork matches the layered challenges and twists of the intriguing plotlines, making way for a surprising and entertaining climax....A quirky and amusing sequel that’s covered in sparkles." —Kirkus Reviews
