I liked this well enough, and Faith Erin Hicks' art is always enjoyable, but I think it's a little young for my tastes. Which isn't to say it's bad, just had a specific age demographic in mind, and I'm not in it.
Disappointing story and characters.
Won’t be passing this along to the kiddo. Or maybe I’ll read it to him just so we can have a discussion about how it’s problematic? Not sure yet.

3 1/2 stars. Cute graphic novel about a boy who thinks he's going to have a boring visit with his grandmother but ultimately ends up having a great adventure and making a new friend.
