“An action-packed page turner with heart!”—Dav Pilkey, author of DOG MAN Take off on an action packed adventure with HILO Book 1! Dog Manmeets Big Nate in this hilarious New York Times bestselling graphic novel series that kids love! BOOM! CLANG! CRASH! D.J. and Gina are totally ordinary kids. But Hilo isn’t! Hilo just fell out of the sky and doesn’t know where he came from, or what he’s doing on Earth. (Or why going to school in only your underwear is a BAD idea!) . . . But UH-OH, what if Hilo wasn’t the only thing to fall to our planet? Can the trio unlock the secrets of Hilo’s past? Can Hilo survive a day at school? Find out in HILO-a laugh-out-loud, epic story of friendship! Adventure! (And the occasionaly mutant space robot). Here’s what people (and robots!) are saying about Hilo! “More giant robotic ants and people going ‘Aaaah!’ than in the complete works of Jane Austen”—Neil Gaiman, bestselling author “Every kid would love a pal like HILO, and every kid will love this book!” —Lincoln Peirce, bestselling author of the Big Nate series “A perfect book for any kid who ever needed a friend and then had one with superpowers fall from space.” —Seth Meyers, actor, comedian and writer “A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family.“—The New York Times “A Total BLAST.” —Miami Herald * “A wholeheartedly weird and wonderful tale of friendship, acceptance, and robots.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review * “A must-have.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review * “A must-have.”—School Library Journal, Starred Review“A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family.”—The New York Times“My students are obsessed with this series.
