Beautiful illustrations accompanied by a quick, simple fantastical tale. I wish stopping war was that easy. I was so expecting Clia's mom to use military force anyway.

[rating from personal enjoyment]

Made me think of H G Wells Time Machine, adapted with (the Morlocks as) innocent children living underground, and machine people overground. I liked the element of the angel bringing hope to the children and power to the protagonist, after the Dapper Men rained in and restored time. The text had something lacking, felt like something missing, but the illustrations are superb, and overall the book has all the elements of a fantastic dream story with great potential for a sequel. Full colour.

Randomly saw this on Amazon and then bought it at a bookstore when I looked inside. The artwork is really well done, very Little Nemo-esque. I liked the story to this a lot. I love the fact it's talks about singe parents and grandparents with dementia. My grandmother had dementia and it's not easy so this book somewhat gets you ready what you might expect, but in a less dramatic way.

Mainly got this book because it's based on a Baum book that I've read before. Baum's story not as well known as his Oz books, but they connect with Oz. This book is a modern adaption and removes the Oz connections which I think is better. It does have several homages to the Oz books though. One thing I noticed right away is Trot's ballroom dress looks exactly like Ozma, all intentional too.

Overall, this was a fun little comic and glad to see this isn't the last one.
