Loo, a young adult, is the only survivor of a space ship crash that killed her sister.
Loo is the only human on a mining satellite where her basic needs are met. She longs to return to her family, which she describes as her strength. Loo's father fears both sisters are dead.

It says a lot about the Little White Mouse series that I ended up reading the final mini-series first, and even after knowing how the story ends, I was still compelled to go back to the beginning, read everything I missed, and then read the ending again. Fun, compelling science fiction, but also covers so much more: the struggle to survive, coming of age both physically and emotionally, giant conspiracies, the importance of family, spirituality, a little time travel... there's literally nothing about this I don't love. If there was any justice in the world, Paul Sizer would be making Marvel-level bank on this. A terrific read, and in Loo, we get one of the best heroines to grace the comic book page. Can't recommend this enough.

This book is simply just great fun to read. The stories are compelling and the characters interesting. Most of all, I like the art. It is flawed in some ways (proportion and perspective frequently fall) but does so in a stylistic way that enhances the story. Overall, I'm a fan of Sizer and look forward to reading BPM and Moped Army someday.

It covers the story of a girl lost on a far off mining platform on an asteroid that has been 'abandonned' by its former crew. The girl is forced to pick up the pieces of her life on the station and in the process creates new friends and meets a ghost on board the ship. The story is definitely worth a read and I'd advise this book to just about anyone.

pretty good. At first some of the characters seem one dimensional, but they get fleshed out in surprising ways. Lately I've been hating time travelling plots, but the small one in this book actually works well.[return][return]Sometimes contains platitutudes that seem a little forced, but some come acrss quite nicely.[return][return][return]The art is familiar but I'm not sure where I've seen it from..[return][return]Like sci-fi? Like comics? MIght want to give this one a try.

One of my goals this summer is to "read what kids are reading". Since I'm a relatively new reader of graphic novels, I asked a local librarian for a recommendation. She not only recommended Little White Mouse by Paul Sizer, but told me that he'll be speaking in our area next month!

I may write more later, but I'm loving the book so far!

finally finished this epic tale of human nature / survival. Enjoyable with moments of genius.
