"Appealing, colorful artwork complements the philosophical, character-driven plot, including stunning two-page spreads that showcase the wonder of the woods and a sparkling night sky. With gentle humor, the author explores themes of curiosity, friendship, and the value of different perspectives. [A] welcome addition to most graphic novel collections." — School Library Journal"Contrasting dispositions make Luis and Pablo an amusingly appealing pair in the neatly drawn panels, leading a winsome animal (and cryptid) cast. Urbane, goofy fun." — Kirkus Reviews"Gordon’s jellybean-shaped figures, expressive linework, and soft colors amplify the cartoonish interactions and the bucolic setting in equal measure. It’s a simply delightful, seamless blend of disparate parts that come together into an enchanting whole that will charm middle-graders with offbeat senses of humor." — Booklist (starred review)
