This is what every reader wants in a book. A strong start that never let's up until the final page. I would highly recommend this book, especially if your looking for a captivating summer read.

This book was cute. I know a bunch of kids (and big kids) who would enjoy reading this graphic novel.

This was quite fun and well done. The Extincts are a 007 like team that are out to save the world. They get sent on a mission to find and save a Siberian Unicorn horn. Yes that is a real thing. That is one of the things that makes this books so much fun. While it is completely fictional, there are info bits and real life interests hidden in-between the story panels. Some topics covered are the unicorn, towns in Siberia, and the Batagaika Pit (which I had never heard of until now.) This book does a nice job of sneaking in the non-fiction bits that will interest a reader in more information, while also offering the standard back matter of info on instinct animals, experiments etc. My only complaint about the back matter is, the book lists ways to help save the world and one is to stop using disposable plastic water bottles, and on the next page has an experiment that uses a disposable full plastic water bottle, and a disposable plastic cup. I think in terms of what this book aims to accomplish, they need to change that out.

An action-packed adventure, following a team of genetically-enhanced extinct animals on a mission to save the planet (as well as to educate and empower the reader)!

This was a fun, and educational, start to a new lower middle grade graphic novel series. Any child interested in animals, science, history, and adventure will enjoy this book. The book is obviously not based in reality (talk extinct animals) but does provide factual information about extinct animals, global warming, and history. The art is nice, with lots of great action and details. I look forward to more adventures of The Extincts.

Story about extinct animals trying to save the environment and the world by finding a unicorn horn. The storyline was choppy and hard to follow. Too many mini-stories and characters that are not interesting. The story concept is too deep for elementary age students and this book would not check out at my school.
