"Eschmann (the Home for Meow series) grounds the train’s Hayao
Miyazaki–like atmosphere in both children’s realities, involving
Etta’s interest in art-making as well as her use of sign language
and Google Translate to communicate with others, including Eleazar,
whose first language is Spanish. Lusky’s (Primer) interstitial
b&w comics panels bring vivid life to Etta’s original comic
book creations."
*Publisher's Weekly*
"With snappy narration that’s rich in sensory detail and
metaphor, readers progress through well-paced storytelling that is
ethereal and artfully inclusive.
This hopeful adventure leaves an indelible mark."
*Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review*
"I’m on the ETTA INVINCIBLE train! Readers will cheer for Etta and
Eleazar, who search for creativity and friendship, deal with
losses, and find hope in the face of fear to ultimately become
their own superheroes."
— Rajani LaRocca, Newbery Honor and Walter Award winning author
of Red, White, and Whole, Midsummer's Mayhem,
and Much Ado About Baseball.
