Praise
“Young or old, fans of the fantastical worlds of Miyazaki or the moody charm of Over the Garden Wall will be captivated by this graphic novel about staying true to yourself “whatever the weather.” Hupo loves to talk about his favorite explorer, but nobody wants to listen. Then, dark creatures descend on the town, stealing their wonder and Hupo’s best friend. Hupo’s unabashed joy may be the only thing that can save them—if he can hold on to it.” — Danielle Ballantyne, Foreword Starred Review
“[…] While his fellow creatures don’t initially appreciate Hupo’s expressive and single-minded nature, they gain a new perspective on how lucky they are to have him around when his courage, ingenuity, and knowledge save the town from a beast called the Wallower, who is determined to remove all joy and wonder from the world. The color choices reflect the otherness of this world, with bright shades that don’t quite match any real-world counterparts to these creatures (Hupo is dog-like, and his best friend has serpent and bird characteristics), and the scary scenes are tinged with an unsettling, bruised yellow that heightens the creepiness. […] there is never any real doubt that Hupo will indeed be able to save the day.” — Bulletin Center for Children’s Books, Recommended Review
“Such a beautiful, poignant and funny book.” — Joe Todd-Stanton, author Brownstone’s Mythical Collection
“A must-read, bursting at the seams with fantastical creatures and characters.” — Tim Probert, author of Lightfall
