★ ""Here come the glowing-eyed zombie squirrels… Arnold and Pimienta display joyfully experimental creativity with the form."" —Booklist, starred review ""A gorgeously rendered adventure that captures the ache and joy of adolescence in a mad world. Delightful from the first page to the last."" —Tillie Walden, Eisner Award-winning author of On a Sunbeam ""Stylized and ridiculous . . . Sure to be a hit for fans of Paper Girls, Stranger Things, and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl."" —School Library Journal ""Delightfully disturbing . . . Arnold’s text skillfully portrays post-adolescent banalities against a harrowing and violent backdrop… In a dreamy palette of pink and lavender hues, Pimienta’s illustrations leap off the page in a feat of visual wizardry."" —Kirkus Reviews ""Quotes from Longfellow, Yoda, and Jack White alongside abundant early-aughts, 1990s, and 1980s music references imbue this bizarre and fun graphic novel debut by Arnold (I Loved You in Another Life) with plentiful nostalgia. Detailed art by Pimienta (Twin Cities) likewise builds out the teen’s spaces while inky black lingering shadows highlight the novel’s apocalyptic bent."" —Publishers Weekly
