“Young readers are sure to gravitate to the promise of extraterrestrial adventure, but don’t be surprised if grownups latch on to this gentle lesson on surviving trauma and finding one’s chosen family.”

― THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS

“Though the plot is episodic, it’s tied together thematically with a critique of overconsumption, including how Earth’s waste pollutes beyond terra firma. . . . A light space comedy laced with witty dialogue.”

― KIRKUS

“A hilariously absurd comic about the wanderings of 13-year-old Kay, the only survivor, who is rescued by a space trashpicker and his three-eyed cybernetic pet.”

― SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

“With laughs aplenty and a universe full of crazy situations, Softies is breezy, satisfying science fiction.”
