It's a lot of information to process at once. Perhaps I would have preferred several longer volumes. The story is predictable, but it is well-drawn and enjoyable. I liked the different characters drawn (the characters who didn't really have a big role in the graphic novel).

Don't let the cover turn you off, this is a wonderful well-built world here, about an earth boy, from the future, who is accepted at a very exclusive acadamy that has never had any earth people there before.

And yes, it is very much a fish out of water, hard time in middle or high school sort of story, but with a lot more back story, and a bunch of aliens.

And the way he resolves all his problems is pretty amazing, and well thought out.

Stayed up past my bedtime to finish, so that is saying something. Enjoyed it much more than I thought i would.

Fun and touching space adventure.

This graphic novel aimed at younger readers is a lot of fun but doesn’t shy away from topics like bullies and the advantages wealth can bring. Highly recommended.
