Goldie and her best friend are running on the beach when they find an unconscious woman who appears to be an astronaut. After calling for help, Goldie sets out to find out who the young woman is and why she was lying helpless and alone on the sand.
Volume Two was still a strong entry in this series but it didn’t charm me quite as completely as the first collection did. I enjoyed reading more about Goldie’s mom but Goldie herself came across as a bit of an attention-seeker and a brat this time around. It wasn’t enough to completely turn me off but it was a definite vibe that admittedly set the stage for the ultimate conflict.
The art, by Brittney Williams, is still a fun retro pop that I just can’t get enough of.
This series feels like a throwback to some of the best action-y cartoons I grew up with in the ’80s. Goldie and her diverse crew are a delight and I can’t recommend this series highly enough!

Goldie Vance is a such a cute series, I wish it existed when I was a kid!

This is a cute series for a younger audience with queer representation. The little cases are usually interesting. In this one, I wish the conflict between Goldie and Cheryl showers more of Cheryl explaining her feelings. Instead, lots of the story is others and Goldie speculating why she got upset and that makes Cheryl feel like less of a character.

I really enjoyed this one, it continued on with the same vibe from volume 1.This one was also really good. I think it was really good and diverse as well.

There was a lot going on in this teen detective graphic novel and at times it seemed to be a bit too much. But, the characters are great, the story-line wacky, and the premise too cool. Even if I didn't love the plot of this one I plan on sticking with this series because it holds a lot of promise. Volume two was just all over the place with astronauts, mermaids, beauty pageants, and FBI agents. A few too many pieces in the puzzle for my taste, but not horrible. I'm already looking forward to volume three.

This one was better than the first and kept me a lot more engaged. It was super lighthearted with a mysterious side to it, and I loved Goldie’s detective work. Definitely would recommend to those who want a fast, satisfying read!
