HIS HIDING LOOK!!!!! OH MY GOSH SO CUTE! I am all for creating Kaiju/Godzilla content for younger audiences and this is a good fit. It's reminiscent of the old Pokémon cartoons and is full of fun characters.

Also, my Queen and love showing up was just the best. I want to go to this camp so badly...well the camp at the end not the start lol.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Okay so first, I love Godzilla. No, let me emphasize that I LOVE Godzilla. Everything Godzilla. Movies. Comics. Books. Manga. Games. Video essays by randos on the internet. I can't get enough. I knew that, no matter what, I would go into this 100% biased and unable to put it down. That said, this exceeded my expectations! The story was great. The art was great. My precious innocent baby girl is in it. It's perfect :)

Synopsis:
As an aspiring cartoonist, Zelda has always dreamed of attending an art summer camp, and this year she finally gets to go! But when she arrives to Make It Summer Camp, she’s horrified to see the easels and sketchbooks have been replaced with dodgeball and calisthenics. The camp is under new, suspicious management that’s turned it into an extreme sports nightmare.

Review
What a cute graphic novel with a great message of friendship and protecting the environment! I loved seeing all the girls grow as friends! The art style was amazing, and I loved the full page spreads. The character designs are so different, while also working great together. One issue I had is everyone seemed really chill with Minizilla and all the monsters right away. I've never been in a situation where I've encountered a baby Godzilla, but I feel like I'd be a little bit concerned. Overall, it was a super fun read and people should totally check it out when it comes out in August!

Thank you Netgalley and IDW Publishing for anARC in exchange for an honest review :)

This was just a cute little story about a group of kids teaming up with Minila and the rest of the Kaiju crew, Godzilla himself of course, to take on an evil corporation. Genuinely adorable and while this is aimed towards kids I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Overall, definitely would recommend to fans of Godzilla of all ages!

Such a fun title with adorable artwork. Perfect for YA/Middle Grade readers! Definitely a must add for any school libraries.

I read this with my Godzilla loving son and we rather enjoyed it.

Our main character shows up to what she expects to be an art camp, only for it to be an extreme sports camp and she’s not down for it. While avoiding all the awful activities, she stumbles upon a cave where we meet Minzilla and together they have to figure out what’s bothering all the monsters on the island.

Cute, fun, fast. We enjoyed the romp with mini-Godzilla and the other Kaiju.

Highly recommend.

Thanks so much to the publisher and netgalley for the advanced e-copy!
