Beskrivning
From New York Times bestselling illustrator Dani Jones comes a heartfelt exploration of sisterhood, forgiveness, and outer space invasions.Mary Seaver lives in her own world. It’s not her fault if sometimes her enthusiasm creates chaos. To Mary, that’s what being 10 years old and a huge science fiction fan is all about. Allison “Al” Seaver is Mary’s older sister—and she’s everything that Mary is not: cool, calm, collected, and super popular.So it makes sense that when aliens invade their hometown of Pleasant Valley, Mary’s trying to warn everyone about the end of the world while Al’s just hoping it will all go away before the spring dance. But when a secret emerges from their family’s past, Mary and Al find themselves turning to their most unlikely ally: each other.Dive into Dani Jones's debut original graphic novel, a hilariously tender investigation of sibling dynamics, aliens, and what it is that makes us human.

Recensioner i media

“Full of humor and coming-of-age antics, Dani’s mash-up of alien invasions with sibling rivalry delightfully captures the importance of embracing your inner weirdness." — Mike Maihack, cartoonist of Cleopatra in Space"Chock-full of that darkly sweet and scary blend that made the classic Goosebumps series such page-turners. Jones’s comedic sci-fi tale lovingly reminds us why there’s nothing more terrifying than our own siblings." — Dave Roman, creator of Unicorn BoyThis is a compelling choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy adventure, family stories, and relatable teen struggles. A fast-paced, heartfelt tale of sisterhood, secrets, and saving the day. — KirkusAction packed panels by Jones (The What-If Wonderfest), making a solo debut, burst with dynamic onomatopoeia and propulsive, fast-paced plotting that alternates heartening character moments with madcap alien antics, food fights, and superpowered battles. — Publishers WeeklyThe story dives into bullying and treating others poorly just because they may seem like outcasts, which ­parallels the alien action part of the story. Real ­feelings of sibling misunderstandings and connection are also at the heart of the story and create a nice balance to an ­otherwise lighthearted science fiction graphic ­novel. — School Library JournalFor anyone who has ever wished for a sf version of Frozen with all the sisterly bonding—but also aliens—this is an excellent choice for stories featuring siblings and themes of embracing all parts of your identity. — BooklistMy Sister, the Freak … is upbeat and uproarious. Jones's lively, thickly lined art has a cartoon-like quality reminiscent of Dan Santat and Raina Telgemeier and her use of light allows for Al's epic superpowered battles to glow gorgeously. The visual humor is admirably, unabashedly hammy and features classic onomatopoeia as well as tongue-in-cheek jokes ... — Shelf Awareness
