Random House Books for Young Readers Hilo 9: Gina and the Last City on Earth

The hilo series always seems to amaze me with how well there written. This book was so good and the book is 20 pages longer then average hilo books. The art looks so perfect except the colerist isn’t my favorite, (the colerist in book 6 was so much better) and you definitely need to read all the others for it to make sense. Cant wait for book 10!

Fun and entertaining

Series Info/Source: This is the 9th book in the HiLo series. I bought a copy of this book.Thoughts: This book was just as much fantastic fun as all of these books have been. The characters and story are a blast, the illustration is bright, colorful, and easy to follow. Every time I read a new book in this series I end up laughing out loud and having a great time.In this installment Gina (with the help of her friends) must put the world back into the shape it once was before it was broken. There's a lot of monsters, magic, and mayhem as she works to do this.I loved this, it was just sooo much fun. I enjoyed how things resolved as well and wonder if we will see more HiLo books or if this is the end!?My Summary (5/5): Overall this was just as fun, creative, and wonderful as all the previous books in this series. There is magic, action, adventure, crazy creatures and wonderful characters. I loved the story as well and hope that we see more books in this series!

My kids love this book (ages 3-11) and it’s actually easy to read aloud (I normally dislike reading graphic novels to my kids). The story is so fun, exciting, and heartwarming.

It arrived yesterday and my 11 year old has already read it twice. Today he brought it to school to share with his class. Gina has become his favorite character in the series. Well done, Judd Winick.
