Really enjoyed this quick read! Needed something to get me out of a slump so I’m turning to graphic novels.
Loved Grandma as a character - what a badass. And especially loved that the library was a big part of the reason they were able to come together as a community to save the day!
It has some great musings on technology, being popular, and tech addiction but with a fun alien twist so it never felt like it was preaching to you! Really really really loved the tips to unplug at the end, but also mention that you can’t unplug all the time.
Not entirely the biggest fan of the art style, think it reminded me a bit too much of Saturday cartoons?? I like something a little more refined (???) but the colour schemes were fun, and the fluffy aliens were super cute hehe.
I think it’s got a great heart and the year 9s/10s at our school library (which this copy I read was bought for) will eat this up!
There were a few times I laughed out loud which is always great. Will defs read the sequel when/if we get it for the school library. Almost missed the end page that moved us to the next book haha!
