REVIEW
Another exciting book in an appealing, standout graphic novel series for middle grade readers. In this 5th of 6 books, the tension builds to a crescendo as HiLo and D.J. set out to discover the remaining missing pieces of HiLo's memory. While they visit HiLo's world and discover that things have changed drastically since HiLo was there last, Gina, Izzy, Lisa, and Polly are left to cover for their absence. Izzy create a couple of robots to fill their shoes, but it's immediately clear to Gina that both robots behavior are raising suspicions. And the military is getting ever closer to discovering The Comet's identity. The characters are delightful, even the villain is sympathetic at one point, and provide plenty of humor to balance out the intense fight sequences. The colors are bright and eye-catching. And the twist at the end is jaw-dropping in it's implications for the final book. I very much look forward to reading the final chapter of HiLo's story and finding out what happens to all of the different characters.
