Hilo Book 1: The Boy Who Crashed to Earth: (A Graphic Novel)

Introducing HILOâ€”the funny, New York Times Bestselling, full-color new middle-grade graphic novel series that Bone creator Jeff Smith calls â€œdelightful.â€
Â
D.J. and his friend Gina are totally normal kids. But that was before a mysterious boy came crashing down from the sky! Hilo doesnâ€™t know where he came from, or what heâ€™s doing on Earth. (Or why going to school in only your underwear is a bad idea!) . . . But what if Hilo wasnâ€™t the only thing to fall to our planet? Can the trio unlock the secrets of his past? Can Hilo survive a day at school? And are D.J. and Gina ready to save the world?
Â
HILO is Calvin and Hobbes meets Big Nate and is just right for fans of Bone and comic books as well as laugh-out-loud school adventures like Jedi Academy and Wimpy Kid!

Praise for HILO
â€œMore giant robotic ants and people going 'Aaaah!' than in the complete works of Jane Austenâ€â€”Neil Gaiman, bestselling author

â€œEvery kid would love a pal like HILO, andÂ every kid will love this book!â€Â â€”Lincoln Peirce, bestselling author of the Big Nate series

â€œHILO is delightful, silly, tender, and most importantly: funny.â€ â€”Jeff Smith, bestselling author of the Bone series

"Fast paced, furiously funny, and will have kids waiting on the edge of their seats for more."â€”Jeffrey Brown, bestselling author of Jedi Academy

"I LOVE this book. And I'm not the only one. My 11-year old sonÂ loved it. And when my 7-year old daughterÂ saw it, she picked it up and loved it too. Hilo is alive, actionpacked...and amazing fun. Not sinceÂ Bone have I been this excited to see the launch of a series."â€”Brad Meltzer, bestsellingÂ author The Fifth Assassin, Host The History Channelâ€™sÂ Decoded

"HILO is loads of slapstick fun with a touch of tenderness that kids will love."--Dan Santat, Caldecott Medal Winner

"High energy and HILARIOUS!"--Gene Luen Yang, winner of the Printz and Eisner Awards, two time National Book Award Finalist

"A perfect book for any kid who ever needed a friend and then had one with superpowers fall from space.â€ â€”Seth Meyers, actor, comedian and writer

* "Universally appealing. A wholeheartedly weird and wonderful tale of friendship, acceptance, and robots."â€”Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

* "Diverse characters, good friends, and humorous dialogue coupled with colorful illustrations and plenty of action makes this a must-have."â€”School Library Journal, Starred Review

"The most enjoyable hero to hit the library shelves in years.Â Good clean laser-beams-coming-outta-your-hands fun for the whole family."â€”http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/

â€œHILO kept me flipping pages with its compelling mix of modernÂ language and old-fashioned charm.Â There are some big themes at play hereâ€”loyalty, outsiderdomÂ and the tyranny of technologyâ€”but, thanks to Winick's usual doseÂ of humor and action, kids may find it suitable for their grownups.â€â€”Armistead Maupin,Â bestselling author Tales Of The City series,Â The Night Listener.
