Readers who enjoy other time and space travel will like this book.
Some weak transitions between story lines can make this tricky, but the visuals will help readers make connections.
I can’t find if there will be a sequel, but it seems like there’s more stories to be told.

This book intermixed real tragedy with the preposterous. It had you laughing even amongst loss. I was thoroughly impressed and still chuckle from some of the jokes when I think back on what I read.

This story had a surprising amount of humor, considering it starts with Luke's brother dying in an accident. There were several times I laughed out loud reading the story, especially when they were in the bug world. The bad guys were obviously bad guys. Not only were they dead creatures, but there mean to each other. They kept blaming other party members for their mistakes to their boss to try to shift blame. Otherwise, it's a pretty standard time/dimension-travel story. At the end, Luke revisits the first scenes and changes them for the better. His brother survives, but now he can no longer be part of that time stream. He heads off with his new friends without even thinking about the fact that he's leaving his family behind. But there are adventures to be had!

I very good story about a boy and a lot of twists he never saw coming. I would really like to see a sequel to this book.

I only read the FCBD issue. I thought it was fun with great artwork and colours. I'd certainly read the graphic novel if I stumbled across it.

Extremely quick read. Weird but fun and poignant. Can't tell if there will be more adventures with this group or not.

This is the best children's graphic novel to come out this year (2017). This will appeal to fans fo Doug TenNapel's work, Craig Thompson's Space Dumplin's, Amulet, or Bone,

It's wild, wacky, zany fun. It's bright and colourful and psychadelic. It has great and original characters and it makes for one great and visually engaging story.

Goofy and heavy at the same time. A bit preachy for me but hopefully book club will love it!
