Color by Katherine Garner. The conclusion to the Nnewts trilogy remains as offbeat as ever as Nnewt Herk and his siblings Sissy and Zerk mount an epic plan to save Amphibopolis from the evil reptilian Lizzark army. Middle-grade readers with a taste for the bizarre and fanciful will appreciate the moody illustrations, which feature a complexity usually reserved for older and adult graphic novels.
