PRAISE FOR Pluto Rocket: New in Town

“I laughed out loud at Pluto Rocket. I want to buy the book now, I want to buy the many sequels it will have and I want to watch the TV adaptation, which we all know would be foolish not to do. . . . Funny and sweet and a feast for the eyes. A+!” T.L. McBeth, author and illustrator of Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse

“Uncluttered, colorful cartoon art helps tell this sweetly funny story of the eager adventurer Pluto and her guide, Joe, who transforms from braggart to best friend. Humor and dynamic characters create a tale of cooperation, sharing, and friendship.” Kirkus Reviews

“Its saucy vibe and Pluto’s boundless curiosity, optimism, and extraterrestrial wizardry will easily melt even the most streetwise bird’s heart.” Publishers Weekly

“Gilligan’s offbeat, random humor ensures that the stories are fresh, and the laughs are genuine. . . . Not one to miss.” School Library Journal

“Gilligan wraps lessons about sharing, friendship and community in a colourful graphic novel package full of humour and sass. . . . Readers will be clamoring to read the next installment of this new series full of heart.” CM: Review of Canadian Materials
