What The Reviewers Say

Deborah Hopkinson ",

... creative, humorous and enormously entertaining.
George Kendall,
Booklist
Unlike typical books on this topic, McTier’s approach is especially lively and fun because the Milky Way is talking to us, offering fascinating anecdotes about our existence from an out-of-this-world perspective. We also learn of our place and importance (or lack thereof!) within a massive galaxy, which, although immense, is just one of billions. Educational, informative, and original, this will leave readers eagerly anticipating McTier’s next book..

Publishers Weekly
... delightful.
