Aint It Cool News Review
“Matthew Loux does a great job of recreating that feeling of a pair of city boys on vacation with their parents, looking at everything with wide eyes and disbelief … It’s the kind of story that tweaks the imagination … Anyone who has ever longed for that feeling of innocence and wonder, of childhood vacations and adventures with family, should check this one out.” - Ambush Bug AintItCool.com

“…I can’t help but think that kids will be just [as] entranced by Loux’s graphic novel as I was by my books back in the day …a book that could be used almost as a lesson in how to properly pace a story. Not a single one of its 96 pages are wasted … Loux packs a lot of fun into this book, and with each new twist and turn it just gets more and more entertaining. You’ll read it quickly not because it’s short, but rather because it’s hard to not want to read it as fast as you can… so that you can go back to the first page and start all over again. Fun, fun, fun from start to finish. More, please.” -ReadAboutComics.com
