Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book.

This was cute! I really loved the colorful art style and how each chapter represented a different color of the rainbow. Though sometimes the faces looked really weird.

The story was fun and interesting to read about. But I'm confused about who the target audience is: this reads like a middle grade book to teach kids about science, the value of love and to not discriminate those who are different; however, there is a page that contains naked people having sex with goat creatures and a rape attempt. It's not very graphic or explicit, but still; not appropriate for kids. Other than that, it's a very juvenile book.

I liked the main character and his enthusiasm for science, he's very wholesome.

Overall, a nice and very short story that will keep you entertained and teach you about rainbows!
