'Stunning... A story from the heart spilled out onto the page in every possible detail...I loved it'

Chris Mould, artist

Mexikid may be one of the best comics I’ve ever read for this age range. Consider it an amazing example of how to retell the story of your youth in the most epic (yet shockingly accurate) way possible. . . One of the most enjoyable books you’ll encounter out there. A true modern day classic.” –  School Library Journal

Equal parts hilarious and tear-jerking moments abound, rendered in a cartoon style with vibrant color palates that shift depending on the sequence’s tone. This artistically inventive read, which teems with lively characters and emotion, is a joy to behold. -  Publishers Weekly, starred review

Perfectly blending hilariously brazen kid confidence with a poignant multigenerational story of growth and change… touched with genuine affection. [Martin’s] bright and colourful artwork is a sheer delight. It’s a tightrope balancing act of antic humour and genuine pathos, and Martin pulls it off with tremendous flair. - Booklist, starred review
