Really enjoyed this one! It had heart and an excellent narrative voice. You don't even have to be knowledgable about baseball to understand this one. 

 I enjoyed how colorful this whole book was, but you’ll need suspension of belief for some elements.

Lois is ambitious and can’t wait to become a journalist. The villain at Lane’s job was cartoonishly evil though I can’t say that’s not unrealistic for real life executives, sometimes; but only the worst of the worst would say or do these things so blatantly. It’s usually more subtle. The producer or whoever Dante was way accurate tho. Hollywood in a nutshell.

Also, I really like this line: “My mother and I never say ‘I love you.’ Because for what’s between us… that never feels like an enough.” 

Cute but dry

 Ooh, I know this gonna get the girlies going lol. 

But It’s admirable and cute that the author tried to give them some depth. One of the members is actually a father, another has expectations from his parents to live up to, and another is jealous and has a one-sided rivalry with the band leader. The artwork is like a beautiful shoujo and 4Town looks like fashionable princes. 

 I don’t know how to describe this. I love how seriously the story takes itself with cartoony extinct animals.

Lug, the wooly mammoth, has survivor’s guilt and even legal issues when an arsonist triggers a traumatic memory. I enjoyed his narrative and arc, not wanting to be exploited in the zoo system but also wanting to keep his hands busy.

Also, I’m always immediately intrigued when an antagonist says they want to burn the world.
The art style even has a kind of grittiness to it. The fighting of forest fires was informative. I had no clue you really can fight fire with fire.

SN: I’m not a Spanish language buff, but I’m tired that the frog’s Spanish never has accent marks. Si and Sí are two different things
