What They're Saying
Critics Review
*“The personal relationships, various environments, and building projects provide multiple points of engagement to keep new readers motivated.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Goodner and Tsurumi’s brightly illustrated chapter book should find favor with fans of Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen’s similarly designed Mercy Watson series…. A story of friendship that is both lively and lovely.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Recommended for readers who are transitioning to chapter books and who are fans of animated adventure television shows.”–School Library Journal
“Voyagers Kezumi and Kondo tackle fears, frustrations, and homesickness humorously and realistically, reflecting the many issues that can test a friendship during travel…Kondo and Kezumi remind us that we are not alone, indeed.”–Horn Book
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
Tsurumi’s imaginative, humorous illustrations appear in saturated colors on every page…[and] plenty of dialogue to support newly independent readers ready to adventure into longer books.–Booklist
