I am super obsessed with Ben Hatke's art style. I started with Julia's House for Lost Creatures and quickly discovered that I really truly needed to read the rest of his books. I love Zita as an accidental hero just looking to save her friend. I love the mismatch of friends and confidants Zita finds along the way. I also really love the cute little creatures she comes across through out the book. But by far my favorite part is the way the story truly relies on the images to tell the story rather than the text. I think that factor would make this a good book for more reluctant readers.
