The whiteout part had me rolling. This was such a fun story and the art reminds me of Miss Minutes from Loki - that old timey art style. I wasn’t sure going in how I would feel but I really enjoyed how goofy and fun this was! Also shout out to the author who is a librarian! (Fellow librarian here 😋) go lowriders!!

I appreciated the endnotes on the history of lowriders and found that so interesting. I wish more of that was reflected in the story.

This was a book for kids so the text was pretty simple (checking out books from Libby kinda obscures what age it's for haha) but I really enjoyed the creative artistic style with only Bic ballpoint pens. That was by far my favorite part. I probably will keep reading the rest of the series since it was a pretty short, intriguing read.

This book is original and inventive just like the lowrider in space. Combines fantasy, astronomy, car detailing and Mexican-American culture into one fun story. The artwork is really amazing-done with ballpoint pen!

Good messages- teamwork, innovation, perseverance, girl power
The art was very cool, done with ballpoints, and a limited palette. I loved the colored paper and old cars.
Spanish phrases sprinkled throughout inspired me to turn on Spotify and look for some good music.
The back matter gives more historical context for the lowriders.

What a cute book! I've jumped on the graphic novel bandwagon this summer and this one I could definitely see my dormant reader boys getting into! It's so witty with the language and I love the glossary at the back and the translations on the bottom of each page. Sounds like there's a #2 book and I can't wait!
