About This Book

"An action-packed page turner with heart!"β€”Dav Pilkey, author of DOG MAN Take off on an action packed adventure with HILO Book 1! Dog Man meets Big Nate in this hilarious New York Times bestselling graphic novel series that kids love! BOOM! CLANG! CRASH! D.J. and Gina are totally ordinary kids. But Hilo isn't! Hilo just fell out of the sky and doesn’t know where he came from, or what he’s doing on Earth. (Or why going to school in only your underwear is a BAD idea!) . . . But UH-OH, what if Hilo

Our Review

A boy literally falls from the sky, and two ordinary kids find their world turned upside down in this explosively fun graphic novel. D.J. and Gina's new friend, Hilo, has no memory of his past, but he possesses strange powers and a complete ignorance of Earth's social norms, leading to underwear-clad school days and chaotic adventures. The action kicks into high gear when a mysterious threat from Hilo's world seems to follow him to Earth, forcing the trio to become an unlikely team of heroes.

Winick masterfully blends non-stop sci-fi action with genuine laugh-out-loud humor, creating a story that feels both epic and relatable. The vibrant, dynamic art style perfectly captures the energy and emotion, making every page a visual treat. Readers who devour series like Dog Man and Big Nate will instantly connect with the quirky characters and fast-paced plot, finding a new favorite hero in the wonderfully clueless Hilo. This is the start of a series that promises even more intergalactic mayhem and heart.
