The characters are engaging, the message focuses on teamwork, and
the book is a lot of fun. --Paste Magazine, from their 10 Best Kids
Comics of 2017 With brilliant worldbuilding and humor in spades,
Lawrence has conceived a truly exceptional graphic tale that's also
a classic underdog story; don't miss this one. --Kirkus, starred
review
Lawrence's illustrations are bright and dynamic, driving the action
across (and down, and around) each page. --Shelf Awareness, starred
review It's an exciting, laugh-a-minute story that plainly reveals
the rewards of teamwork, whatever planet one calls home.
--Publishers Weekly This is a gorgeous book, with lush imagery.
--School Library Journal The fact that much of this graphic novel
takes place away from Earth gives Lawrence both visual and textual
freedom, and the odd, nifty landscapes and madcap, unexpected camp
adventures demonstrate his creative flair. --Bulletin of the Center
for Children's Books With a diverse cast of human girls and lots of
supportive riendships at its heart, this gratifying comic will
please fans of Craig Thompson's Space Dumplins. --Booklist
