Reviews

"The Mandalorian meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this fast-paced space adventure that will have readers turning the pages as they are pulled into a unique yet strangely familiar world that reflects our own. An ideal pick for middle-grade sci-fi fans." -- Booklist (starred review)

"A fast-paced tale of piracy among the stars. Featuring a winning cast of misfits who stumble into unexpected kinship, Anderson employs warm humor and pop culture references to ground the narrative against cosmic-level stakes and underlying commentary about exploitation and the cost of war." -- Publishers Weekly

"A page-turning space adventure that deals with complex issues." -- School Library Journal

"Plentiful references to pop-culture touchstones like Ziggy Stardust and Pokémon give this space opera a lived-in feel. Leo's narration aches with pathos but also provides moments of humor and finally ends on a cliffhanger. A heartfelt adventure." -- Kirkus Reviews

"One final fillip sets up an even more wrenching conflict, leaving readers eager for a sequel." -- Horn Book Magazine
