Praise for Alien Nation

“One part Shaun Tan, one part Chris Van Allsburg, one part 21st century ennui - this wordless story about isolation and connection in a technology-saturated world (notice the “alienation” title pun) is one of the most visually stunning books of the year.” -Travis Jonker, SLJ 100 Scope Notes

[STAR] “A clever, enigmatic glimpse at first-world alienation.” -Kirkus Reviews (starred),

“Mesmerizing (and uniquely designed)” -Horn Book,

“This book is it. It’s unflinching in its assessment of human nature, and provides no hopeful ending.”-School Library Journal,
