“Space boy Niko's third rip-roaring adventure is ready for takeoff…. (the) impassioned play-by-play narrative flawlessly mimics that of kids boisterously immersed in dramatic worldbuilding. Regan's minichapters and short, exclamatory sentences sustain the escalating tension, while Neubecker's wacky illustrations augment the humor by orchestrating action shots counter to Niko's script. Each detail-packed frame energetically propels the story forward with chuckle-inducing results. Cardboard boxes and duct tape are sure to turn up missing in many a household as spaceships roar into screen-free adventures.” - Kirkus Reviews  

“Curtis’s energetic and very funny text (and)…Neubecker’s lively panel, full-page, and double-page digital illustrations strike the right balance…The final scene adds some drama to Niko’s happy ending…Stay vigilant, Space Boy!” – The Horn Book
