I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a luxuriously detailed graphic novel for kids with high moral standards. The pages are beautifully laid out and the colors are gorgeous. The lessons taught to young readers are hugely important.
The young group of heroes flawlessly travels to the Himalayas and interacts with a foreign culture with no racism and no preconceived notions about other cultures. All they wanted to do was join in the fun.
While children aren’t going to be able to take a ship and run off on a rescue mission to save tigers in the Himalayas, the underlying concept is pretty clear: children can be a huge driving force in the conservation of this planet. They do have the power to cause change on some level, even if it’s not so grand and they should be encouraged to use that power.
This is a great graphic novel to encourage children to be what they want to be, to interact with other cultures with no bias, and to help conserve our planet.
I was at a loss for not having read the previous books in the series and while this book was still great, I would recommend starting with book one.
5 stars.
