Critic Reviews

"Lylian delivers a cinematic new adventure that will enthrall fans of Marvel and Gozdilla. . . This first installment in a new epic adventure series sets the stage with a high-interest plot that transitions between what is happening with Erin and Yrso, and what is happening on a larger global scale as scientists uncover the existence of other giants in the world. Readers will enjoy the colorful artwork and character-driven stories, though they may recognize some familiar tropes from other comic book series."—School Library Journal

"An exciting first chapter in a story filled with potential. The engaging storyline, linked with the striking illustrations, helps to draw readers into a fantasy story filled with real-life lessons about matters linked to habitat destruction and protection. This colorfully illustrated book will leave readers with a positive sense of anticipation for the remaining parts of the series. Reviewer Rating: 4"—Children's Literature

"A tender tale of grief propelled into a fantastical, globe-trotting adventure."—Kirkus Reviews
