Oh, Glorkian Warrior. You were doing so well! You almost had that rampaging space snake under control -- when Buster Glark, your villainous rival in the Glorkian Corps, showed up to make fun of you! He laughed so hard at your misfortune that he gave himself the hiccups. And that was just on the first page of this book.
Things are only going to get worse from here, Glorkian Warrior. But we promise there will be plenty of pie at the end.

James Kochalka is the first Cartoonist Laureate of Vermont. That's kind of like being the state flower, but even better! He's the author and illustrator of several popular children's book series, including Johnny Boo, Dragon Puncher, and The Glorkian Warrior. Dragon Puncher Island won an Eisner award in 2012 for "Best Publication for Early Readers", but he's also won the Harvey award and four Ignatz awards for his books for adults. In addition to drawing comics he plays in a rock band called James Kochalka Superstar and designs video games (Glorkian Warrior and its prequel Glorkbot's Mini-Adventure). Kochalka lives in Burlington, VT with his wife and two sons.
Gr 3–7—In this sequel to The Glorkian Warrior (First Second, 2014), the title character and his trusty backpack deal with a space snake, a nemesis by the name of Buster, an alien baby eating the Glorkian's brain, and a lack of energy crackers. In other words, a normal day in the life of the Glorkian Warrior. After having his brain sucked out, the protagonist explains, "Who cares if my brain is stupid? If I ever needed to think of an idea, I'd just ask my elbow." Add a good dose of rivalry and some excellent potty humor, and readers have a great sequel with a side of adventure pie. The bright colors and huge panels make this an ideal read for beginners to graphic novels. The simple drawings lend themselves well to the action depicted, and though it looks as if there may be too much going on in every panel, it flows quite nicely. VERDICT This second adventure of the Glorkian Warrior deserves a spot in most graphic novel collections, as long as kids can handle a tooting backpack.—Mariela Siegert, Westfield Middle School, Bloomingdale, IL
