The best part of this book are the illustrations. They're colorful and geometric. There's a retro feel to them. Collectively they do most of the heavy lifting for the narrative. Frankly the novel would have been better without any text. The main detractor from this novel is Kerry himself. He oozes white male privilege. Even when he's apparently doing good for others, it's performative. Yes, he's motivated by the need to get medicine to his parents but that doesn't excuse his obnoxious, entitled behavior. Outlier: 0066CC (privileged home maze) http://pussreboots.com/blog/2020/comm...

*I got this book for review from the publisher* I thought this book was adorable graphic novel. I really loved the setting and the characters in this novel. I think the final color version of the graphic novel will be stunning. I also really liked how this book was structured . I found the creatures in this book to be so fun. I also loved how this book explored topics like friendship and good vs evil. I also really enjoyed the art style as well!
