About the Book

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hilo learns the secrets of his past in this hilarious graphic novel series that’s “an action-packed page-turner with heart” (Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man).

“A story that can be enjoyed by the entire family.”—The New York Times

“A perfect book for any kid who ever needed a friend and then had one with superpowers fall from space.” —Seth Meyers, actor, comedian and writer

Everyone’s favorite space boy—Hilo—is back! But what really happened in his world before he came crashing to Earth? To finally uncover the truth of his mysterious past and the robot threat that has been chasing him, Hilo returns to his home planet, Jannus, along with his best friend D.J. But as soon as they jump through the portal, they find Jannus in a completely different state than Hilo remembers. With robots missing and many of the power systems not working, Jannus is no longer the high-tech home Hilo came from. As Hilo and D.J. meet new allies and dangers, it becomes clear that the real reasons Hilo ended up on Earth are more complicated than just a heroic destiny—and that everything he assumed about his purpose is about to be turned inside out and upside down!

Filled with colorful illustrations, laugh-out-loud text, and the occasional space robot, this action-packed graphic novel series shows that no matter where you come from, kindness, friendship, and choosing your own path are the greatest superpowers of all.

And for an outstanding gift, don’t forget to check out Hilo: The Epic Boxed Set, which includes the first 10 books in the series!
