Check out their reviews below. 


What an amazing book!! I really felt like I was there in the hot, Harlem summer, walking the streets from Harlem to Manhattan, riding the subways and navigating the underworld with Mark Purvis. Great writing, great plot and great character development. A must-read for any kid growing up in a city and kids in general. ~ Mario W.

Neat collection of short autobiographical episodes from a bunch of sequential artists, like Sergio Aragones, William Strout, and Fabio Moon. ~ Amy W.

McQuiston's second book is so much like their first, Red, White and Royal Blue, but also so very different. You can see their style carrying through, but the big emotions are so different when you're talking about a public love vs a private love. One Last Stop is all about learning to live by learning about yourself in big ways and small ways and finding yourself in how you relate to others (and how they relate to you). ~ Sarah L.

I was disappointed with the conclusion of this book. I had built up expectations for more encounters with the entity and a more dramatic ending. Just thought there'd be more excitement since this book was made into a movie. ~ Sandra B.
