Why read it?

1 author picked Hilo Book 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is the beginning of a graphic novel series (my child adores graphic novels more generally) that has boys and girls in heroic roles. 

The roles are occasionally irreverent, but always equally strong. My child particularly loves the mixture of technology and magic, as well as the interactions between people and anthropomorphic animals.
