Ultra Violet: Down to Business

“Perfectly pitched for keen and reluctant readers. There’s so much hilarious stuff going on. It’s a really interesting play on what’s going on in the wider world, of what are facts, and can we believe facts … Very clever, funny writing. Do not approach this if toilet humour is not for you. It also has some really interesting things to say about preoccupied parents. There is no holding back and that’s probably what kids are going to love about it. It’s funny. I’m reading it as an adult and I can so appreciate what Cristy has done with the writing here, because it’s very very clever.” – AL Tait, Your Kids Next Read 155

“A brilliant combination of graphic novel and science, this is an impeccable read for kids curious about science, toilets, poo, friendship and what happens with little adult supervision.” – Books+Publishing

“Readers should be under no illusion: this is a story about toilets. And sewers. And fatbergs. (If you don’t know what a fatberg is, never fear! This book will enlighten you.) The story also incorporates an impressive amount of science. There’s also some clever wordplay, amusing asides in the form of ‘artist notes’, an alien invasion to dramatically increase the stakes, a (crabby) pinch of romance, and themes of perseverance and sticking by your friends. All in all, this book is an impressive mash-up of graphic novel, science and toilet humour that should be well-received by its target market… who will probably learn a thing or two without even realising it.” – Annaleise Byrd, StoryLinks Australia.

“Ultra Violet has it all – aliens, exploding toilets fatbergs, and a cheese-obsessed hermit crab. Never has science been so funny (or so gross).” – James Foley

“A graphical science sensation bursting with humour and charm!” – Sean E. Avery
