This book needs to find itself. There seems to be too many ideas thrown on the page with a thought to see what sticks. The reader is in a land where time has stood still. There was a crystal that keep the moon and time from moving on. However the crystal has broken and a shard is missing. Sound familiar? Yeah I thought so too. I wish this was a homage to the Dark Crystal, but except for the basic concept it is nothing like it. Half way through group of children are sent on a quest to find the shard. They are excited to finally grow up, but at the same time, they have been cautioned to not grow up too fast. It’s a slough to keep track of this story. It’s not even saved by the art. It’s nice but seems old. Makes one think of Prince Valliant meets Kirby.
