Hilo: The Great Big Boom

Hilo: The Great Big Boom Synopsis

When we last saw our INTREPID TRIO, Gina had been sucked into a mysterious portal to who-knows-where. But friends don't let friends disappear into NOWHERE! It's up to D.J. and Hilo to follow her! Will there be danger? YES! Will there be amazing surprises? OF COURSE!

Will Gina end up being the one to save them? DEFINITELY! With the help of Polly, the magical warrior cat, the friends will have to battle bad guys and face disgusting food, an angry mom, terrible knock-knock jokes, powerful magic, and more! Will they survive and make it back to Earth before the portal closes again?

• Joshua Parcell, age 9 - 'A funny book written in a very interesting format. Hilo is a boy robot with some incredible powers, he has never seen a planet like Earth before!'
• Oliver Lonsdale, age 9 - 'Very funny book, absolutely excellent, makes you want to read more.'
• Bella, age 9 - 'I loved sharing this book with my Dad he doesn't normally read but we read this in three days.'
• Toby Little, age 9 - 'Even though I don’t like comic books, I really loved this one. Having a main character who doesn’t know anything about himself is mysterious. I can’t wait to read it again.'
• Lucas Blake, age 6 - 'Holy mackerel, this book is OUTSTANDING!'
• Daniel Bisland age 9 and Alexander Bisland age 11  - 'We recommend this book to 6+ comic readers who like superheroes as the book only has a few words and could be read with a parent. We give it 5*****.'
• Lewis Briggs, age 10 - 'Possibly one of the coolest books on Earth! It is written in comic form and has a cliff-hanger at the same time.'
• Lucy, age 6 - 'This is an adventure story that is written as a comic strip.  Hilo is very funny.'
• Aidan Wood, age 7 - 'Overall the pictures were colourful, but I'd have liked a bit more description in the story.'
• Gianna Smith, age 7 - 'Hilo doesn't know what he is or where he came from.  His brain is like a busted book with lots of pages missing and holes. You should read it and it makes you want to read on.'
• Iulia Motoc, age 9 - 'Exciting, very easy to read and excellent illustrations, all in one comic style book!'
