"The visuals feel like a 1970s cartoon, jaunty and geometric, creating an upbeat vibe from which one can almost hear the silly sound effects....With deadpan delivery, Martin's humor is well balanced and fast paced, and it has at its core some very real advice accompanying the exuberant visuals....So entertaining that the good advice slips right in." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The perky text and retro-futuristic visuals drolly depict the girl's adventures in vibrant, slick cartoon artwork, including plenty of classic robots. The tongue-in-cheek humor and hyperbolic elements add levity to this story interweaving an adventuresome plot with supportive, practical friendship advice." -- Booklist

"The poker-faced treatment of the sci-fi disaster will ensure giggles, and viewers will appreciate the comic irony of the brisk how-to tone ('Ask your parents before handling plutonium')....Youthful friends of disaster and destruction will find this a refreshing alternative to more staid tales of friendship." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A clever self-help parody bolstered by real-life-applicable advice." -- Publishers Weekly
