I love the bunny robot character and I didn't find either child protagonist annoying or too whiny.īecause of the beginning, I wouldn't recommend this for really young readers there's a particularly harrowing scene that includes blood and death. Some of the character designs are odd I don't understand why the mother's head is so long and skinny, but the full-color illustrations and backgrounds are gorgeous. I liked the combination of steampunk-style additions, (robots, spaceships, rayguns and gadgets,) with classic fantasy characters, (like elves and other monsters.) That's something I haven't seen that often in middle grade books. There is still plenty of originality intermixed that I didn't feel like I was reading the same old, same old.
The story is a familiar one a magical object passed down in the family contains enough power to save the world, and a young girl is now tasked with making the right decisions to save those she loves. Now, that's an accomplishment! I'll admit though, I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to moms or husbands dying, so your mileage may vary with that.
Together with Miskit, they face the most terrifying monster of all, and Em finally has the chance to save someone she loves.Not very many novels, let alone a graphic novel, stir up a visible emotional response from me (for example: something might be funny but I'll rarely laugh out loud.) This book, however, made me cry within the first 15 pages. Eventually, they enlist the help of a small mechanical rabbit named Miskit. Together with Miskit, they face the most terrifying monster of all, and Em finally has the chance to save someone she loves. Em and Navin, desperate not to lose her, follow her into an underground world inhabited by demons, robots, and talking animals. Before long, a sinister creature lures the kids mom through a door in the basement.
After the tragic death of their father, Emily and Navin move with their mother to the home of her deceased great-grandfather, but the strange house proves to be dangerous. Graphic novel star Kazu Kibuishi creates a world of terrible, man-eating demons, a mechanical rabbit, a giant robot-and two ordinary children on a life-or-death mission.
