This book is some seriously fast-paced fun.
“Math might save my life one day?”
“It’s possible!”
I remember reading a portion of this series back in middle school when it was still up as a webcomic. It’s still such a neat concept and the style is great to look at! Watching Cleo learn and adapt to a whole new environment is something I think a lot of younger kids can understand and enjoy. That alongside the good sci-fi based humor in it makes it a fun experience even as I’m outside the targeted age demographic.
Khensu is one of my favorite characters because of his standing up for Cleo. With this new time she’s in, she’s alone and no one is there to cover for her or really be her guardian. His stepping up to the plate as her protector is just really sweet and nice to see. Also... talking cats. Those are just cool any way someone can include them in their world.
I see why this series became so popular that it eventually had an animated show made! I’ll definitely be continuing to read these and I look forward to seeing where Cleo goes next.
