Booklist - 11/01/2024 Blake Laser is a scientific prodigy; unfortunately, her parents don't know it. They're always too busy with work at the Interplanetary Space Control Center to see just how special she is. While on vacation in space, the family are called on by the ISCC to investigate an unknown anomaly draining the sun's energy and threatening not only Earth but the entire solar system. When her parents are captured, Blake must use her wits and her incredible inventions to save them and ultimately the world. Marantz and Brown have created a fun and heartfelt romp through space, full of realistic middle-grade emotional concerns and plenty of space-adventure action. Brown's artwork features expressive characters and fittingly otherworldly backgrounds and does a fantastic job at moving the story along. Blake's emotional growth, as she grows closer to her brother, Brody, and finally manages to get her parents to recognize her brilliance, is genuinely gratifying. This captivating intergalactic story featuring a charming cast of characters will likely have broad appeal among middle-grade comics fans. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
