Page 114 is the best! KICK!! ( )

7/10 ( )

I wasn't a real fan of the cat character introduced last volume, and now here we are in her dimension for an extended visit. I was left feeling a little weird when the crocodiles from [author:Stephan Pastis|20322]' Pearls Before Swine were introduced as villains. But I did like the glimpses into Hilo's past, the energy of the battles and the revelations of the concluding pages. ( )

This is the third book in the HiLo series and was the best book in this series yet! HiLo and DJ go on a mission to save Gina that takes them to Polly’s (the marital cat) home world. There they will have to fight the Scale Tail clan in order to find Skylark (a super powerful ancient wise bird), help HiLo regain his memories, and find a way back to Earth.

This was a super fun book full of amazing characters, a fun and fast-paced story, and wonderful full color illustrations that are easy to follow and bright and colorful. I love the slowly unraveling mystery behind HiLo’s past. I also really enjoyed meeting Polly’s huge and crazy family.

I wonder if HiLo will finally have to confront Razorwark (the evil robot that is strongly tied with HiLo’s past) in the next book?!

Overall I am really enjoying this series. It is great for all ages and a lot of fun to read. I love all the action, adventure, robots, and humor. I also enjoy the themes around friendship and family. Recommended! ( )

There are magical warrior cats in this book. I don't think I need to say anything else because MAGICAL WARRIOR CATS. HiLo and his friends are going up against the ultimate baddie and it's only going to get worse which is why I'm practically vibrating with excitement over Waking the Monsters which is set for release on 1/16/18.

These books are full of heart and what it means to be a loyal friend no matter what (even if there are killer robots). The illustrations are 99% of the reason why I love these books. The colors, characters, and layouts are perfectly married to the hilarious, heartwarming prose. This is a solid 10/10 for me and I have been recommending it so much that now we only have book 2 sitting lonely on our shelves (they're going like hotcakes is what I'm saying). So catch up so that like me you can sit in anticipation for the 4th book to hit the shelves! ( )
