A must-have for any collection."--School Library Journal, starred review"This sophomore effort's solid artwork, dialogue, and stories will still be a great introductory title for young or struggling middle-school readers starting to explore the world of graphic novels."--Booklist"Variety of style is the real draw of Kibuishi's graphic anthologies, and tweens reluctant to stray from their comic-book favorites will find the gamut of visual presentations eye-opening."--The Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books"Another satisfying anthology that will leave readers eager for the next."--The Horn Book;
