By Judd Winick

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Take off on "an action-packed page-turner with heart" (Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man) in this hilarious graphic novel series all about friendship, acceptance, and--of course--space robots

"A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family."--The New York Times

"A perfect book for any kid who ever needed a friend and then had one with superpowers fall from space." --Seth Meyers, actor, comedian and writer

BOOM CLANG CRASH D.J. and Gina are totally ordinary kids. But Hilo isn't Hilo just fell out of the sky and doesn't know where he came from, or what he's doing on Earth (or why going to school in only your underwear is a BAD idea ). Curious about this new place and the strange traditions of Earth humans, such as eating out of bowls and wearing shoes, Hilo attempts to fit in. But as D.J. and Gina work together to make Hilo seem like a normal kid, new problems--and villains--come to light. What if Hilo wasn't the only creature to fall to our planet? Can he and his friends save Earth from a drove of evil predators before it's too late?

Filled with laugh-out-loud text, colorful illustrations, and the occasional space robot, this action-packed graphic novel series shows that no matter where you come from, kindness, friendship, and choosing your own path are the greatest superpowers of all.
