A Tiger’s Tale* stands as a testament to Lugo’s deep understanding of the martial arts world. Drawing from his extensive experience as an illustrator and former senior designer for Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine, Lugo infuses each panel with authenticity.

As a father of two young girls, I deeply appreciate the book's emphasis on normalizing intelligence and a passion for STEM among young girls. "Lucy Veloz: High Flying Princess" empowers young readers, especially girls, to see themselves as capable and adventurous, breaking stereotypes and encouraging them to embrace their curiosity and ambition.

However, what truly sets "Artemis Fowl" apart is its eponymous protagonist. Artemis, a child prodigy with a flair for calculated schemes, embodies the charm of a young James Bond villain. This unexpected character development adds a layer of excitement and unpredictability, keeping readers engaged and entertained.

I really appreciated Khouri’s artwork, with its heavy linework. This book also shows how important color is to a story, for mood and setting. The entire book was presented in a warm palette of yellows and oranges, which insinuated to me, a planet with a different type of sun.
