Story is very fast paced and leaves little room for meaningful character development. Concept is interesting for younger readers and does a lot to spark imaginations. How would 1-12 year olds survive in a world with no adults? I’m sure the novel does a better job fleshing out their challenges, but I found myself wanting much more out of this short graphic novel.
