4-65 Worlds series.
Also illustrated by Xanthe Bouma, Matt Rockefeller, and Boya Sun. In this sci-fi/fantasy series-opener, three kids--a sand dancer with a missing sister, a homeless orphan, and a celebrity starball player--band together after a neighboring planet attacks their home. This sweeping graphic-novel saga features inventive world-building, with history, mythology, and traditions naturally integrated into the narrative. The nuanced panel illustrations help advance the complex plot and deepen readers' understanding of the intriguing, dynamic characters.
