This hilarious graphic novel is accompanied by illustrations that are super fun, colorful, and kid friendly.

From the first volume, Astronaut Academy has played with a unique format. The stories are told from the perspectives of a wide variety of characters. Some get only one short section. Other contribute throughout the book. Some short sections tie directly into the larger book plot. Many are seemingly unrelated, a brief non-sequitor that tells us about the world or some small element that will inform the eventual resolution. Always, though, these sections tell us a lot about the character and give us an idea to contemplate as we read. In this third volume, Roman deviates slightly from that structure. We still get multiple perspectives. This one, though, has a lot few non-sequitors, a lot less random information. Instead, he's drawn in conflicts from the first two books, looking at motivations and old resentments. Fewer robots and explosions, more confrontation of grief and unresolved trauma. It's more contemplative than the previous books but ultimately a pleasant way to close out the trilogy.

I received an electronic ARC from First Second Books through NetGalley.
The latest in this series by Roman pulls readers in from the first introduction. He offers one page introductions to each character in case readers are joining in the middle. From there, the characters continue to reveal their backstories as they enjoy the best party ever. Readers even get to see why it is so important to Marybelle as she recreates the planet to meet every anticipated need. Of course, this backfires and puts all of them in danger until they combine their abilities to solve the problem. I appreciate the way Roman blended the dreams to reveal more about the characters and to resolve current tensions among them. Great for discussion on why characters behave the way they do.
The artwork is detailed and provides further information on the storyline.

A true to form graphic novel and one sure to entertain and delight readers from age 7 and up. There are plenty of characters to meet and keep track of, scientific reasoning to learn and impacts on environment that need to be changed to save the world.
There is great use of language and funny relationships throughout dealing with normal emotions and feelings for children.

Personally I found it too busy and constantly changing but I know children will really enjoy reading it,
