Our Review Panel says...

Tabetha ‘Tabby’ Simon is resolved to learn what happened to her scientist father who was found dead after researching a mysterious tree. While searching for the truth, she is transported to Rema, a far-away planet of magic and beauty. In Rema, she meets Philip a blue-haired boy with his own dangerous secrets. As she discovers this world and the perils involved in her search for the truth, ‘Tabby discovers that she is destined for something far greater than she ever could have imagined’.

A truly magnificently illustrated graphic novel with a manga-like style. It is a fast-paced adventure filled with thrills, fantasy, magic, romance, and interplanetary travel. Amy Kim Kibushi’s illustrations are all tinged with a blue and purple hue, producing art that is highly detailed and engaging.

The story keeps readers on the edge of their seats, and it is perfect for readers who find chapter books challenging to stick with. This high-stakes magical adventure is sure to hold their interest. Additionally, it would also challenge readers who are used to reading chapter books, as graphic novels have a different level of challenge where readers will need to use text and images to make inferences and synthesize information. With themes or bereavement and elements of romance woven through the fantasy narrative, this is most suitable for upper KS2 and beyond.
