In the best tradition of classic comics, the baddies get their comeuppance in this tale of an endearing couple of oddball kids. -- The Listener, 50 Best Kids' Books of 2020 With an array of blended, multilingual, and multiracial families and diverse gender representation, this book is beautifully inclusive ... Villains, magical books, and creatures from the deep combine for a fast-paced, rollicking graphic mystery. -- Kirkus Reviews There are so many elements to love in this fast-paced, contemporary read that is full of adventure and heart...
