<p>[T]his sequel to <i>Which Way to Anywhere </i>(2023) is action-packed. Cowell illustrates nearly every page with exuberantly inky images of grotesque aliens and monster robots, frantic kids, and explosive arrivals and departures. She also chucks in mind-bending notions for clever readers to wrestle with, such as ice that is simultaneously cold and hot.<br />Clever, silly fun.</p>
