Hilo Book 2: Saving the Whole Wide World by Judd Winick
4.0
Hilo returns to Earth once more in an attempt to save it from Razorwork's impending invasion. This time, portals from the Void open up to deposit a range of alien monsters (not far from the creatures that pop out of the Trap Door TV series) that gradually attempt to conquer the land. However, one creature, a female, monk-like cat with a penchant for hating all the food she eats, pops in looking to defeat a pair of viking hippos. She joins the team and bring some great energy and humour with her.
As Hilo's memories return and more of the world around him begins to see events unfolding, the story becomes richer and more complex with themes of loss and redemption beginning to sink in. Central to the narrative though is friendship and the importance of supporting one another no matter how challenging things are. Another solid part of the series.
