Description
Meet the brilliant, overachieving Bright Family: While Mom’s off-planet literally saving the world and Dad’s holed up in his laboratory, 12-year-old Nia’s trying to win every robotics competition, and her younger brother, Jayden…well, actually, Jayden’s just trying to avoid doing his homework so has more time to daydream about kaiju and design giant robots.
But when a dimensional portal sends Mom and Dad who-knows-where, it’s up to Nia and Jayden (and their robot nanny, Dusty) to bring their parents home. The question is, where in the multiverse could they possibly be?
Through their travels, the Brights—kids and parents alike—learn how one person's actions can lead to consequences that affect the whole family, and sometimes even the entire multiverse!

An absolutely adorable book!
I love the art style and the story was really easy to understand.
I read this with my 6 year old niece and she LOVED IT!
I cannot recommend this enough.
*Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review *
This follows two kids from superhero parents going on an adventure of sorts. The artwork is so adorable!
I was very pleased with this book.
Thank you to netgalley for providing this book to me in exchange for my honest opinion.
Well, I thought this was a successful little read, and I hope it proves so in the marketplace. It's a warm-hearted but also dynamic adventure story, with the children to parents who are a major explorer and a science boffin following them through a chain of space/time portals, all leading to diverse worlds. The first stop is where little cute characters are living under constant threat of being squashed by giant monsters having a play-fight, before they find a world plagued by Tribble-styled critters that eat everything, and enter gladiatorial combat where the final opponents will prove to be – well, that would be telling. It's a bit daft that the conclusion to the first story happens off-screen, but that's the nature of this being created to serve the monthly market before this resulting compilation was stitched together. The adult reader will see the rush to the end as just that, a rush, but generally everything here is a plus, from the multi-ethnic family and the ease of people admitting fault, to the sheer sci-fi action geared most expertly to the primary school audience. A strong four stars.
