I'm not sure if it is the translation or the actual writing, but the paragraphs are choppy and the style isn't great.

This just became my favorite middle-grade sci-fi series, can't wait for the next episode.
A classic style format graphic novel like some collectibles such as Stardust and The Sandman by Neil Gaiman where we have full chapters mixed with graphic novel pages or full illustrations. Makes the perfect mix and it's the best format for reluctant readers who just started with full comic page format to transition into full prose. I love it. To have the novel and be rewarded with awesome high-quality art of the characters and action.
It gives us short chapters and different POVs that plunge right into action. The kid's mom is gone and there is an alien ship on its way to Earth following a distress signal. When the cops take their dad in for questioning the kids take control of the search and rescue mission and find more than they expected. They end up teaming up with space travelers/bounty hunters, learn the truth about their mom, and start a journey to save her.
About 128 pages, this is the jumping start of a great rescue mission in space and is perfect for sci-fi and superhero fans of Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek.
