Reviews
“Feuti’s steampunk-with-a-medieval-twist worldbuilding is both exciting and imaginative without being jarring or anachronistic. The dynamics between hapless Cornelius and the clever-yet-often-overlooked Bing are exceptionally well-wrought and offer an artful feminist message. The clean lines and character stylizations are reminiscent of Jeff Smith’s Bone series and will certainly appeal to a similar audience. Though this volume provides closure, expect an outcry for more adventures in this intriguing world. Clever, fast-paced, and altogether great fun.” –Kirkus Reviews: *Starred Review
Perfect for younger readers, ideal for older ones, and with a snappy plot accompanied by even snappier dialogue, Feuti has produced a comic that will actually appeal to kids of all ages” -Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal
“Comic action and lots of clever lines add charm to this smart middle-grade comic.” -Publishers Weekly
“A great choice for insatiable elementary-school comics fans.” -Sarah Hunter, Booklist
“Feuti’s use of quirky, smart humor in this page-turning graphic novel makes this adventure a fun, jaunty read that can be enjoyed by little ones and adults alike. The strong, intelligent, empathetic female protagonist is a great role model for young readers. Feuti’s pen and ink drawings are amusing and his Animaniacs-reminiscent characters are easy to love. A surprisingly enjoyable read.” –Samantha Roslund, School Library Connection
