Review Quotes

"This first series entry from debut author Molebash is bursting with a ferociously delightful vibrancy, likable characters, swift pacing, fun pop-culture nods, an appealing gaming slant, and vibrant full-color illustrations. With equal measures of zippy antics and action, fans of series like Hilo and Zita the Spacegirl should feel right at home." --Kirkus

"Uncomplicated layouts and simple backgrounds astutely shift the narrative's primary focus to Molebash's idiosyncratic character designs and madcap action, rendered in loopy black line and vibrantly saturated tones." --Publishers Weekly

"An excellent graphic novel debut that elementary kids will eat up."--School Library Journal

"Middle-grade readers who love video game adventures will appreciate this fast-paced comic, and a cliff-hanger ending will keep them on the hook for forthcoming volumes."--Booklist
