Critics Review

Praise for The Last Immortals

“The life-or-death action reads like a mystery-crime mob thriller while weaving together ethical and moral themes…. Middle grade students will enjoy Zephyr’s journey, which combines adventure, ecological themes, and the universal importance of family, friends, and ­belonging into a compelling narrative.”–School Library Journal

“A captivating series starring today’s trendiest amphibian. Brooks keeps the narrative moving briskly, balancing the harsh realities of nature with humor and camaraderie. The axolotl’s remarkable regenerative abilities add biological intrigue to the tale, while themes of chosen family versus blood ties give emotional weight to Ace’s journey from helpless hatchling to determined hero. Dorman’s illustrations enhance the underwater setting, making lake-bottom life feel vivid and immediate.”–Kirkus Reviews

“This gripping, fact-saturated series starter is an easy recommendation for avid Warriors fans. This book teaches young readers about the importance of an ecological balance as well as the power of compassion and believing in one’s ingenuity.”–Booklist

“An adventurous beginning to a series that both feeds the current axolotl craze and touches on important topics, such as friendship, family, allegiances, and betrayals … includes many delightful illustrations perfect for middle grade animal fantasy readers.”–School Library Journal
