HILO’s BA-ACK—in this funny, New York Times Bestselling, full-color new middle-grade graphic novel series that Bone creator Jeff Smith calls “delightful” and Lincoln Peirce says “every kid will love!” DJ and Gina are TOTALLY ordinary kids. But Hilo . . . isn’t. HILO is just settling into life on earth (Bowling? Knock-knock jokes? OUTSTANDING!) when strange portals begin opening up all over town. And HOLY MACKEREL! Even STRANGER creatures are coming through them! But it will take more than a GIANT MUTANT CHICKEN, A VIKING HIPPO, A MAGICAL WARRIOR CAT, or even a few MILLION KILLER VEGETABLES to stop Team Hilo . . . er, WON’T IT? Can Hilo, DJ, and GINA figure out how to send these creatures back to their worlds before they DESTROY the earth? 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 Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Praise for HILO “Every kid would love a pal like HILO, and every kid will love this book!” —Lincoln Peirce, bestselling author of the Big Nate series “HILO is delightful, silly, tender, and most importantly: funny.” —Jeff Smith, bestselling author of the Bone series “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.” —Seth Meyers, actor, comedian and writer “The most enjoyable hero to hit the library shelves in years. Good clean laser-beams-coming-outta-your-hands fun for the whole family.”— Betsy Bird, A Fuse 8 Production blog

My son found Book 1 at our local library and he really loved it. It's an interesting story line and the dialog is really funny at times. It is well written and the art is well done (what else would you expect from someone who has done some Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Star Wars comics). It is getting him reading without coercion, which is a win-win.
I got this for my 9 year old after he finished the first one. He loved this sequel. He read it twice, reread the first one and then read this a third time. We'd like to thank Judd Winick for coming to Walt Disney Magnet School in Chicago, sharing his time and fostering an interest in graphic novels in my son and his class. If you ever come back, he's got another book for you to sign.
This second book in the Hilo series is just as fresh and exciting as the first. In this book, Hilo and his friends DJ and Gina have to figure out how to save the earth from creatures who are appearing from other planets through strange portals. Luckily, Hilo quickly figures out how to zap the creatures back to their worlds, but soon even he canât keep up with number of portals opening. Then there is also the question of Razorwark, the villain from the first book and whether he will be arriving through one of the portals himself bringing with him a potential answer about Hiloâs origins. I donât want to spoil a single thing in this smart and funny series, so pick it up!Winick sets just the right tone in this second book, managing to handily escape the sophomore slump and keep the series action-filled and funny. Though this book does serve as a bridge to the rest of the story, it also fills in many gaps for readers about Hilo and his friends. We are also introduced to a marvelous new character in Polly, a sorceress martial-arts cat. She is entirely kick-butt and ferocious, leaning into every battle that comes her way.Winick does a great job with the art as well. His action sequences are dynamic and colorful. The portals themselves add a wonderful tension to the page, where one isnât sure what is going to arrive next. Each character is unique and delightful to spend time with and once again I applaud Winickâs decision to have strong girls and diverse characters center stage.A second book that continues to build on a great graphic novel series for children. Appropriate for ages 6-9.
The first book was wonderful. Well written good story with great characters and amazing illustrations. This is an excellent continuation. The content is truly kid friendly and engaging. It's definitely made my son eager to learn to read.
The first book of Judd Winick's Hilo was a fantastic, funny science fiction adventure, along the lines of a great Pixar movie. When I finished it, I wanted to read the next book.This second volume ups the emotional and story ante to the point that when I finished it, I needed to read the next installment. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until it comes out next year.As with the first volume, Winick's dialogue, art, and comic timing are superb. But this one raises the stakes to a much higher level. He introduces some serious character twists, and I look forward to seeing where things go from here.
This is a fantastic all-age series. It's funny, exciting and with genuine emotion.
My eight year old nephew loves these stories!
Super cute and funny book! My son can't get enough of it. Has read it many times! Hope a lot of them come out!
