pickNew characters, bigger troubles and one really big surprise propel this series forward in Book 3. Young readers undoubtedly love the books for the humor and adventure inside but they likely also appreciate the power of friendship on display as Hilo, D.J., and Gina work together to overcome a host of problems. It's easy to see why this series is so popular. (And I have to credit my son with good taste in books.) I'm looking forward to Book 4.
pickOk, these books are definitely a lot of fun. Honestly, I don't know how you can go wrong with magical cats, Viking hippos, and mutant chickens. If that isn't enough for you, the stakes are higher (Hilo, D.J., and Gina are saving the world after all), the friendships are stronger, and the danger is greater. This series is fantastic and it's easy to see why kids and adults alike enjoy it so much.
'Hilo: The Boy Who Crashed to Earth' ended with a cliffhanger so yeah, I'm reading the second one. I need to know what happens next...
pickI *love* these! Fun & funny with great values, diverse characters (Asian, Black, a robot, & a smart girl), beautifully written & illustrated, deals with low self-esteem; not fitting in; friendship; being who you really are; societal & family pressure; helping someone you love; and doing what is right. Should appeal to readers who like comics, superheroes, robots, and/or humor. I enjoyed these immensely and can't wait for the next one to come out.
pickGo and get this immediately! It's adorable, quirky, and just sweet. I read it out loud acting like it was for the kids, it wasn't! Can't wait to get the third one!
pickLoved this, story is captivating, art is cute and quirky. My kids liked it too!
pickGo and get these books right now! I just finished it and my kids were playing in the closet. They kinda were listening, but I really loved it!
