I liked the graphics a lot in this novel, but the story just was not my favorite. I think a lot of middle school students would enjoy this novel, but it just wasn’t for me. I think it has some really awesome themes of reconciliation and making time for people that are important to you.

I loved both the story and artwork of this book! Grace is so excited to hang out with her “fun” mom instead of being with her overbearing mom, but it doesn’t end up being what she expected at all. This leads to Grace searching for her own adventure which leads to the rest of the story.

* I received an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review *
This book was so sweet and wholesome and unexpectedly emotional, I loved it! The story itself is fairly simple, but this is a graphic novel that truly benefits from having the art and story intertwined. Being able to see Grace's emotions as she travels through space made this a really good read. The basics of the story are that a 12-year-old girl who lives on a space station with her "boring" mom gets to go on a vacation with her "exciting" mom and realizes those distinctions maybe aren't true or fair. The story handles what it's like being a child of divorce while also being a beautifully-drawn space adventure. I think younger and older readers can both enjoy the art and the relatable depiction of childhood, although they may understand the story through different lenses. Overall, I'm really glad I picked this one up and was able to read it!
