review 1: The KitKatPandaBatWolf has taken off a bit with this. So I'll read a couple of chapters to her at night, and then she'll read a couple more to herself before turning out the light. Let me state for the record that I dearly love having children who want to stay up a little bit later reading to themselves at night, and that I've set their bedtime at a manageable 8:30 on weeknights, accordingly. I've been an insomniac from the word "go" and read to myself after official lights out by the hall light shining in. I also used to hide my current reading under conveniently placed stuffed animals.Anyway, she'd be giving this two enthusiastic thumbs way up. I'm amused when reading, but not awed, in part because the art just isn't working for me at all. But there are giant octop... moreus-like beings who sound Australian, and they're called G'Dalians. Tell me that joke alone is worth getting a copy for your kid.***Finished, finally. I didn't enjoy it as much as the eight-year-old, who, I'm pretty sure, would give it five stars, but still, it was fun.
review 2: So I accidentally picked this book up when I was grabbing #2 & #3 of the Lemony Snicket series---I was attracted to the idea of a "novel in cartoons' and I am mostly 10 years old at heart, so this was a perfect read for me. I thought it was super cute! I loved Herbert (the geeky boy in the pair) and Sammi (the heroine, in my eyes), but I felt like it was mostly missing character development, world building, and a plot in general. No matter! It was cute! I think any little child would love this book!(Obviously I was not the intended audience) less
