Our two main characters take a cleverly created odyssey into the world of come of age. Some images and situations are intense, therefore this is not for sensitive readers. Fantasy and adventure elements are prominent. Fantastic illustrations tell the story as much as the text, becoming its own character. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Published: Tundra Books - February 13th, 2024

This wordless story is a somber, yet hopeful, look at how one Earth-like world (or Earth itself) has drastically changed. A young space explorer lands on a planet void of life, except for plants and eventually a few animals. They find an old time capsule with a "viewfinder" toy, that shows the world before (in sepia tones) and how it is now in the beautiful, boldly colored and detailed illustrations. The climax is clever and unique. Great for most ages. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
