Another comic book collection suggestion is Mark
Crilley's Akiko trade paperbacks.  The main character
is a 4th grade girl taken to the Planet Smoo.

Random House has also adapted the first first 18
comics into four "young reader novels" and there have
been subsequent novels.  According to his website
there are differences in the adaptation from the
original comics with new scenes and characters.
