Hilo Book 5: Then Everything Went Wrong: (A Graphic Novel)

This is the fifth book in the HiLo series. My son and I both read these and really love them, we buy them immediately when they release. This latest installment was very fun and we both loved it. In this book we get to journey back to HiLo’s home world and finally learn what really happened there. Meanwhile back on earth, a robot D.J. and HiLo are causing all sorts of trouble at school, while the government continues their efforts to track down “comet-boy”. This story was a little more spread out than previous books. We jump between Earth and HiLo’s home world. I love the quirkiness and humor in these books, they always make me laugh. I also enjoy the creativity, brightly colored illustrations, the characters, and the story. Overall this was a fantastic addition to the HiLo series and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here. I would recommend to those who enjoy funny, action packed science fiction graphic novels.

When 7 and 5 year old granddaughters were visiting as a treat I took them to a bookstore. Older one picked out book 1 She had not heard of it before and neither had I. When she got back to her home (out of state) the family finished reading the book and she told me on FaceTime that she wished she could read more of it. I immediately found the rest of the series on Amazon and had them sent to her! She and her sister have been excited to have them.

I loved the book and have been reading and discussing all the Hilo books so fare with my grandson! He is 9 and lives in NJ - I am in TX. I have been unable to visit in person in almost a year due to COVID-19 so this helps us stay connected!! All of the Hilo books have been very good, nuanced and teach values of diversity and acceptance!!

I love this series. We started reading them to our son when the first one came out. They are funny and exciting and the story twists as it develops. When I reads these to our kids, there are laughs, cheers, and groans alike. No other series elicits as much emotional reactions as Hilo.

My girl (almost 6) and I devoured Book 5 almost instantly! If you haven't read the others in the series, grab a bowl of popcorn and block out your afternoon. Too good to put down, engaging and relatable characters, fast-paced plot. I tell everyone about Hilo!

I personally keep up with the hilo book series every year. It always gives you the feeling to read te next book, and leave a mystery behind. My favorite character is obviously Hilo, for he is caring and friendly to the oter characters in the book. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

This book is unlike anything I’ve read. I can’t wait to find out what happens next! (Owen, age 8)

It had suspense it had dramatic seen’s it just ends on a cliffhanger ending but I wish it had more more stuff.

Mein Sohn, ein Hilo-Fan, wartet schon seit zwei Jahren auf den deutschen 5.Band- jetzt haben wir einfach die englische Ausgabe gekauft. Mit 8 Jahren sicherlich sportlich, wobei es so auch interessant ist, ob die aus den Bildern erkannte Handlung mit der geschriebenen mithält. Qualität langlebig, Farben froh 😁

Fantastic book series for early readers and comic book fans alike! Perfect for lovers of Raina Telgemeier and Kazu Kibuishi! My 8 and 10 year old boys can’t get enough of Hilo

Another great book, which arrived very quickly next day. My nine year old son was looking forward to this book coming out. He has had the previous four books from the library and he is so into Hilo now, that he googled it himself to find out if any more books... He read it all the first day it arrived. He loves the graphic novel style and the characters. It is inspiring him to read and to see him excited for the amazon delivery of one of his favorite books, is really encouraging.... What's great is that the prices of these books are very reasonable considering how much we used to spend on magazines when younger. He will keep rereading these and I suspect I will have to get the full range of books once time runs out on the borrowed library books.

Bought this for my students. They all have it a 5 star rating. They are absolutely in love with this series.

I wanted something my son would enjoy and this is an extremely well written series. Even as an adult I am pleased with the surprising plot twists. We've read them all and we can't wait for the next in the series.
