“Galligan’s timing — both comedic and emotional — is impeccable, and dynamic paneling paired with vibrant technicolor hues artfully complement the flow and energy of the Eight Bitz’s routines and Sunna’s yo-yo prowess…A thoughtfully rendered portrayal of friendship, growth, and joyful self-expression.”
— Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“This inviting, heartfelt story will get readers into the groove of self-expression and lasting friendships.”
— Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
