One Trick Pony

" The story combines an exciting science fiction plot with down-to-earth teenage characters...The real allure to the work is the use of different kinds of lines used to build textures, provide atmosphere, and portray characters."--School Library Connection
"Hale blends adventure, aliens, an apocalyptic future, and folklore into an easy-to-read stand-alone."--Kirkus
"Hale imbues his latest with pathos, action, and perfectly timed moments of comedy, but it's the imaginative landscape, spot-on visual pacing, and confident line work that make this adventure tale really zing."--Booklist
"Hale's illustrations are textured and visually move the story forward, while his original storyline effortlessly combines aliens, adventure, and apocalyptic fun."--VOYA
"Set in a land that blends Stone Age elements and highly advanced technology, this graphic novel adventure features the same mix of humor and derring-do that makes Hale's "Hazardous Tales" so popular."--School Library Journal
"The aliens themselves are visu-ally exceptional--huge, gluttonous, and oozing privilege in both their actions and their physical presentations."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"While beautifully concise, it still manages to squeeze in loads of suspense, chills (though nothing too nightmare-inducing), action and entertaining character dynamics -- all within a refreshingly original take on post-apocalyptic hellscapes."--New York Times Book Review
"With an engaging, racially diverse cast this high-stakes epic adventure should have wide appeal...Hale shepherds this complex narrative with the same sure hand as his graphic novel series of real stories from history."--Horn Book Magazine
