Fantastic addition to the HiLo Series!
This is the fifth book in the HiLo series. My son and I both read these and really love them, we buy them immediately when they release. This latest installment was very fun and we both loved it. In this book we get to journey back to HiLo’s home world and finally learn what really happened there. Meanwhile back on earth, a robot D.J. and HiLo are causing all sorts of trouble at school, while the government continues their efforts to track down “comet-boy”. This story was a little more spread out than previous books. We jump between Earth and HiLo’s home world. I love the quirkiness and humor in these books, they always make me laugh. I also enjoy the creativity, brightly colored illustrations, the characters, and the story. Overall this was a fantastic addition to the HiLo series and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here. I would recommend to those who enjoy funny, action packed science fiction graphic novels.
I would give it more stars if I could
Judd winick, you are my hero! I love hilo so much, I dressed up as him for halloween. Whenever I finish reading a hilo book for the first time, I cry because I really want to know what happens next! Thank you so much for putting your time, effort, and OUTSTANDING-NESS in to al of the hilo books. Keep writing! Toby
Fun for a 2nd grader.
My 8 year old grandson loves this series. It was recommended to me by a young girl sitting on the floor reading the series in Barnes and Nobles. Unfortunately they didn't have this one so I bought it on line. My grandson read the whole Harry Potter series the end of 2nd grade but the graphic novels are just fun. I remember loving comic books as a kid and it didn't harm my love of reading.
Better than candy, toys or electronics
My kids received this book today, and separately almost have it finished. They love the Hilo series, and this one definitely lives up to the hype. I think I just received the mom of the year award for preordering this book!
One of the best kids graphic novels out there.
I love this series. We started reading them to our son when the first one came out. They are funny and exciting and the story twists as it develops. When I reads these to our kids, there are laughs, cheers, and groans alike. No other series elicits as much emotional reactions as Hilo.
Grandaughters loved this series!
When 7 and 5 year old granddaughters were visiting as a treat I took them to a bookstore. Older one picked out book 1 She had not heard of it before and neither had I. When she got back to her home (out of state) the family finished reading the book and she told me on FaceTime that she wished she could read more of it. I immediately found the rest of the series on Amazon and had them sent to her! She and her sister have been excited to have them.
Excellent!
The 5th Hilo book certainly did not disappoint! My kiddos love it as much as the previous 4 and are already asking when the next comes out. Hilo will always hold a special place in my heart because these were the first books my child with dyslexia willingly read and enjoyed. He actually introduced the series to his brother and sister(neither of whom has dyslexia), and they loved them too. Can't wait for the next one!
My son loves reading this book.
My son is 7 years old. He has been reading the previous Hilo book series. He has been read it over and over again since he get the book yesterday.
Love these books
Love these book! My son brought the first one home from the library and my daughter read it too. They went through the first four books then my daughter asked if there was a fifth. We preordered this one and it was read that night.
The Next Awesome chapter in the Hilo saga
The next chapter in the ALL ages series. Each book has exceeded the previous ones. Seriously, a fun series to share with your kids, grandchildren or your next door neighbor who is having a bad week
