THE FLIP SIDE
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"By turning Evan's and Emma's moment-to-moment battles to survive into simultaneous battles to face their own pain, Walz transcends the already top-notch adventure story and gives readers something more profound, more accessible, and more relevant."

"Strong character development, atmospheric art, villainous aliens, snappy banter, cheerworthy protagonists, and well-executed suspense should give this lots of broad appeal."

BORN TO RUN
LAST PICK
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"Walz’s series has been consistently fantastic, with its inclusive worldbuilding and electrifying pacing coupled with dazzling, cinematically styled art. Throughout the series, the characters have explored what it means to be labeled “useless,” affirming the intrinsic value of those considered lesser for being different by small-minded bigots (in this case, virulent, war-hungry aliens)... An affecting and unforgettable SF series with heart."
