This series is so charming. Great art, humor, and characters! The brother and genius sister mostly get along, which I love, but I want to give a spotlight to their friends, Nara and Beto. These two are so sweet and selfless! I’d love to have friends like them. More importantly, Wyatt and Adeline appreciate them and acknowledge their sacrifices.
For this book, there’s less of a focus on the superpowers at this wacky camp because it’s a cover for Wyatt and Adeline to find their lost mother.
I like the bits of depth here. Wyatt’s insecure outside of his powers, and Adeline took their mother’s disappearance the hardest akin to grief.
Also, the art excels. Dynamic poses and great paneling. Nothing stays the same from page to page in the best way possible. All in a cartoony style. I really like the art here.
