About the Author
Royden was born at very young age on the Canadian prairies of Manitoba. He grew up the son of an oil painter and a farmer and he’s been drawing since he could hold a pencil. Royden failed his 12th grade Art class for drawing comics instead of assignments, and was kicked out of 10th grade Math for animating in the corner of his textbook. He now writes and illustrates childrens books and graphic novels while working full time as an animator in the Seattle games industry. He lives in the Seattle area with his wife, Ruth.
Reviews
Pursued by a massive robot, a boy flies his jet pack into the life of Roman Taylor, and, after a desperate battle to fell the automaton, Roman realizes that rebuilding and reprogramming the machine is the key to saving his failing farm. Meanwhile, young pilot Jet Jones is surely more than he appears, as he claims to have fought in a war between man and machine that ended decades ago. Though it takes place in “the present,” the World War I aesthetic of the flashbacks places it in a rural everywhen, and the sepia-toned art, with its pulp-inspired robots and jet packs and its modern faces and figures, effectively borrows from a century’s worth of influences. Roman’s struggle is sharply portrayed with minimal words, allowing the art to carry much of the emotion while delivering clear and thrilling action sequences. Though it feels like just the tip of a much larger story to come, it will be much enjoyed by readers of lyrical fantasy adventures like Matt Phelan’s The Storm in the Barn (2009). Grades 4-8. --Jesse Karp
