“Regan perfectly captures the joys of imaginative play and sibling rivalry while telling an excellent adventure story. The text is action packed and humorous, and clearly conveys the fine line between reality and science fiction.
The cleverness of the text combined with Neubecker’s witty details, perfect expressions, and spot-on color palette makes for an exciting and satisfying read.
Kids will want multiple readings of this story.”
—School Library Journal
“A second thrilling adventure. You can’t keep a good spaceman down. Five brief chapters break the action into separate exciting set pieces worthy of Tom Swift. Neubecker’s digital art crackles and pops. Intergalactic derring-do, and home in time for supper.” —Kirkus
“Filled with kid-pleasing details. The expressive art works in concert with Regan’s tongue-in-cheek text, enriching the story and helping make its sophisticated structure easy to follow.” —Horn Book
“A funny and fresh spin on sibling conflict.” —Publishers Weekly
