Thank you Netgalley for letting me read and review this book. Before Netgalley I hadn't read many middle grade graphic novels, but am enjoying them. If you like middle grade and graphic novels you should definitely give this a read. It is such a fun read, full of adventure and cool characters.

Sanity and Tallulah: Field Trip is the second installment in the delightful Sanity and Tallulah graphic novel series by Molly Brooks. This book follows friends Sanity and Tallulah as they join their class on a field trip to a terraformed planet. This is exciting because they live on a space station and have never been on a planet before but have all hear terrible things about them. Their field trip gets off to a rocky start and the two friends find themselves stranded on a planet that's about to explode. They have to use all of their problem-solving skills to beat the clock and get everyone back to the space station safely.

After loving the first book in the Sanity and Tallulah series, I was beyond excited to read the follow up. I like that this book has a new environment for the characters to explore, since the first book thoroughly explored life on the space station. The planet was a great setting for the story and I enjoyed getting to know more about the characters families during this story.

While this book spent less time on Sanity and Tallulah's friendship, it still shows how the two balance out each other and play off the other's strengths. I love how much science talk we get in this book - there's physics, engineering, and even some environmental science thrown in! I also appreciated how this story fills in more of the universe background information that was laid out in the first book. We learn a little bit more about the different factions of people who are living in space (the pirates!) and get hints at more information about why Sanity and Tallulah are living on such an isolated space station.

Overall, I would recommend this book to upper-elementary and middle school readers. The story is fast-paced and has great character building. The illustrations are beautiful and will help readers understand the tricky vocabulary that gets thrown in during some of the science-y sections. There is also important and needed representation of girls and people of color being passionate and capable scientists. This would be a great book for anyone who loves space adventures! I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.

My students will definitely enjoy this sequel to Sanity and Tallulah and will be ready for more to come in this series. Hand to readers who enjoyed Star Scouts, Amulet, and Estranged.

This second entry into the Sanity & Tallulah series is not quite as well-done as the first, but still a very fun read. Fans of the first will need this second and fans of both will need another entry to the series as well!

I got the first of the series in an OwlCrate box so I was super excited to continue the adventure of these two friends when I saw Molly Brooks had a second one out. So cute! So fun! Opening my eyes to more graphic novels. (Not my typical genre).

Such a great graphic series about two precocious girls who always seem to find their way into trouble. I love the artwork and the storyline, so far every book in the series has been a delight to read.

This is a fun series and I enjoyed this second book a little more than the first one. The characters are smart and adventurous, even in the face of pretty serious danger. I appreciate the diversity of the characters and the focus on science. Hoping for more space travels with these two.

Sanity and Tallulah are excited. They've always lived on the space station, so they've never been to a planet before. When they're class has a field trip planned to a planet they're excited to see a sunset or grass or animals native to the planet. Things don't go as planned. When they arrive, they're informed that the field trip program had been cancelled, so no one is expecting them. There are also some asteroids that are flying through the atmosphere and cause damage to their ship. Now they're stuck on a planet without a way home. Sanity and Tallulah are separated from their class and discover a whole different world inside the planet where space bees are being used to mine a precious metal. Will they be able to reunite with their class and escape the planet before the planet is demolished by a large asteroid?

This fantastic second graphic novel in the Sanity & Tallulah series expertly incorporates STEM and an exciting plot to engage and entertain readers. I loved seeing scientific girls driving a story. Highly recommend this title.

This book is the second book in the Sanity and Tallulah series. It is about Sanity, Tallulah, and their class going on a field trip to a planet. Their trip gets off to a bad start and Sanity and Tallulah are separated from the other kids and their chaperones. Things go from bad to worse after that and the kids have to find a way to escape the planet as soon as possible.

I really loved this second book. I really love the characters of Sanity and Tallulah and how they are very different little girls. They both have their own interests and their own personalities. The story was really great too. I loved how it all turned out and I was hooked right from the start. This is one series that I really love and I hope that it keeps going. I love to see little girls that are so full of energy and curiosity.

I really enjoyed this second adventure with Sanity and Tallulah! You definitely have to read the first book to understand this one but you should read that anyway because it was also really good. I love the art, with the minimal colors. The story is filled with science, action, friendship, and humor. Tallulah is a great friend to Sanity even if she does test her patience. I'd hand this to a child who wants to read a science fiction graphic novel and lived Cleopatra in Space and Zita.

The Sanity & Tallulah series is fantastic! The writing is fun, the plots are exciting, and the visuals really bring everything to life. I love the friendship between Sanity and Tallulah - they are pretty much opposites in their personalities but they complement one another so well. I often felt like Tallulah was treated as a humorous sidekick and wish she could have played a larger role, but she does get a few hero moments. I hope in future stories she gets to do more than add some comic relief. I also love that this book puts two young girls as experts in fields like science and engineering - and that it makes the kids the heroes showing the importance of problem solving skills and teamwork. I hope that young readers read these books and get interested in STEM fields. Field Trip has higher stakes than the first book, but I think that's great because it allows the series to grow with its audience. I highly recommend that teachers and librarians add this book (along with book #1) to their libraries.
