Perfect for you if...

You're a parent or teacher after a graphic novel that's genuinely funny without being condescending to kids.
You love stories about misfits finding their people, even when one of them literally fell from the sky.
You want action and adventure that doesn't sacrifice heart or humour for the sake of moving the plot forward.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer graphic novels with a darker or more serious tone throughout.
You're looking for complex character development rather than feel-good friendships and team-ups.
You need books that don't rely on a foundation of silliness and weird alien logic.

About this book

D.J. and Gina are ordinary kids whose lives change when Hilo crashes to Earth from the sky. Hilo has no memory of where he came from or why he's on Earth, and he struggles to understand human customs like wearing shoes and eating from bowls. As D.J. and Gina help Hilo blend in at school, they discover that he may not be the only creature to have fallen to the planet. The three friends must work together to protect Earth from dangerous predators that have also arrived. This graphic novel combines humor, colorful illustrations, and action sequences as it explores themes of friendship, acceptance, and belonging, regardless of where someone comes from.
