Betty is a little girl
with a big secret. To her friends and family, she's the sweet and brainy
girl next door, but when the galaxy beckons, she sheds her humdrum
persona and becomes Atomic Betty, Galactic Guardian and Defender of the
Cosmos.
While the citizens of Earth carry on with their every day lives, Atomic
Betty zips across the galaxy on daring and valiant missions. Whether
it's to save a race of space monkeys from a giant caterpillar invasion
or to rescue a kidnapped ambassador from a ruthless king, Atomic Betty
lives up to her role of Galactic Guardian.
Betty is known throughout the Milky Way, and just so happens to be a
regular at the Dog Star Cafe – the greasiest fast food joint this side
of Pluto. But here on Earth, nobody suspects a thing – and that's just
the way Betty likes it. If her Mom and Dad knew she was out zooming
through the cosmos without a license, she'd be grounded!
