A solid addition to the series with a heart-warmingly tearful conclusion. The whole storyline could happily have ended here and I wonder if that was the original plan with Winick picking up new threads (and a new Act) in [b:Hilo Book 7: Gina---The Girl Who Broke the World|54368533|Hilo Book 7 Gina---The Girl Who Broke the World|Judd Winick|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593737985l/54368533._SX50_.jpg|84841284].
Whatever the case, book 6 in the series does a very good job of tying all the threads together with some tragedy, plenty of drama, doses of humour alongside a good daub of pathos as well: not bad at all for the young reader's graphic novel.
I have enjoyed this first 'Act' for the series. Winick has remained diverse with his characters in many ways without ever feelings like he is ticking boxes at all and the humour wins throughout with 'grin-worthy' catchphrases galore. A lovely collection to have in any primary classroom.

OK, so I definitely cried reading the ending of this to my son. This is the perfect started graphic novel series; I thought some of the plot turns didn't quite work for me, an adult, but it, uh, doesn't matter at all.

It was amazing to read a Hilo book that didn't end on a cliffhanger. However, it was also a joy to turn the page at the end and see an advertisement for book seven, coming out next year. Even though this book is the final installment in the first story arc, there is more to come, and I am so glad!
Also, I may have cried at the book's final image. It was so simple, but profoundly touching. I have greatly enjoyed this series for its goofy excitement, thoughtful science fiction elements, and emotional heart, and this book brought all of those elements together in a magnificent way.

PERFECT ending to the story arc that started it all. I absolutely loved this whole series. So happy to see there will be a 7th book.

I have loved this series from beginning to end. I adore kids' fiction that doesn't treat them just like kids. There are some heavy and inspirational moments here. I'm so excited that the story doesn't just end here. next book focuses on Gina!

Getting to read a new installment of Hilo is the best part of a new year! A great conclusion to the series (thus far!).
They way Winick has humanized a bunch of robots has shown the battle of good vs. evil isn't as straight forward as we might originally assume.

A great resolution to Hilo's story, with sacrifice and loss and redemption and a robot army and eight-legged giant pugs, which are all things I like to see in a story.
And best of all, there will be more books! The band is still together!
