Wild Ride came out last October and since then it’s garnered some very nice reviews. I’ve posted them over at the Graphic Guide Adventures website, but I know you’re a busy person, so they’re re-posted here for your convenience (ain’t I thoughtful?)
” . . . the easy-to-follow survival adventure will engage reluctant readers, especially ones curious about survival skills. Deas’ full-color art is packed with action . . .”
Booklist, January 1, 2008
“ Fans of graphic novels will like the edgy, clever illustrations and the zippy back-and-forth dialogue . . .[readers] will certainly enjoy this fast-paced, well-drawn story.”
Quill and Quire, December 2007
“For those (and there certainly are many) upper elementary and middle school students who have been caught up in the graphic novel craze, Wild Ride will provide them with the excitement, artwork, drama and, very importantly, the reading ease that they are looking for.
Recommended.”

I’m a big fan of the series. Especially Wild Ride - I love the story and I love the cultural diversity. Unlike so many other kids books where the default setting of white, blonde and suburban (this just in: the world is a diverse place). The writing is also really tuned into relevant global and environmental issues - as well as being FUNNY! OK, so I’m totally biased … but I just had to leave my own little two cent review. You rock.
