Critics Review

Compelling * The Sunday Times (Ireland) *Gloriously rich illustrations…gripping graphic novel * Countryfile Magazine *Global is a graphic novel that tackles the very pressing subject of climate change…an inspiring and stark reminder of the need for urgent climate action * The Irish Examiner *Eoin Colfer’s vision of a drowning world is breathless fun…As in Illegal, the language is sparse, consisting of quick-fire dialogue and brief, staccato narration, complemented by Giovanni Rigano’s haunting illustrations. This format will appeal to less confident readers, for whom the pictures will spell out the story in as much detail as the words. But this is also a skilfully plotted novel, in which obstacles are overcome, and characters given time to unravel. And as with all the best adventure books, the drama is made ever more vivid by constant juxtaposition with the everyday. * The Telegraph *You won’t want to put this book down - it’s a great read with brilliant illustrations, bringing the catastrophes our world faces to reality * Kilkenny Live *Moving, thrilling, action-packed and thought-provoking, this is adventure in the true sense of the word… but with an important message imprinted deep within its heart * Lancashire Evening Post *A moving a powerful take on the climate change issues currently experiences around the world. * Aberdeen Evening Express *The artwork is stunning and this is a powerful and timely book * Independent.ie *
