What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Eschmann (the Home for Meow series) grounds the train’s Hayao Miyazaki–like atmosphere in both children’s realities, involving Etta’s interest in art-making as well as her use of sign language and Google Translate to communicate with others, including Eleazar, whose first language is Spanish. Lusky’s (Primer) interstitial b&w comics panels bring vivid life to Etta’s original comic book creations.” * Publisher’s Weekly *
“With snappy narration that’s rich in sensory detail and metaphor, readers progress through well-paced storytelling that is ethereal and artfully inclusive.
This hopeful adventure leaves an indelible mark.” * Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review *
“I’m on the ETTA INVINCIBLE train! Readers will cheer for Etta and Eleazar, who search for creativity and friendship, deal with losses, and find hope in the face of fear to ultimately become their own superheroes.”
— Rajani LaRocca, Newbery Honor and Walter Award winning author of Red, White, and Whole, Midsummer’s Mayhem, and Much Ado About Baseball.
