“Moore's debut is an exciting entry in the world of middle-grade graphic novels, thanks to her unusual art style—her gorgeous watercolors in saturated tones have an appealing vintage look to match the story about a vibrant girl who dreams big. She keeps the pacing tight, gradually revealing clues in a puzzle-like plot that compellingly emerges from the perfect blend of text and imagery. The focus on inventions will make this a nice STEAM crossover title, but the sci-fi story should have wide appeal among middle-grade comics fans.”-Booklist
“This debut graphic novel introduces readers to Helga Sharp, a unique and entertaining iteration of the plucky heroine. The quirky characters and inventive world-building are largely products of the cartoonish style of the gouache and watercolor illustrations, while the composition and layout of the comic panels help the outlandish plot zip along. This delightful confection will entice readers with a good mix of fantasy, mystery, and action.”-The Horn Book Magazine
