Praise for Cloud Town:

"McCloskey’s detailed art does a great job of emphasizing the emotional highs and lows of high school and mech combat. The gritty, textured look makes the characters and settings feel real and helps create a  seamless transition between reality and the more fantastical elements of this adventure."

— School Library Journal

"Meet Daniel McCloskey--a bold, new cartooning voice! Cloud Town is a beast!  It's original. It's different. It's full of energy and life! Kaiju, skateboarding, manga, YA,  so many ideas, and great cartooning! This is a special graphic novel. It feels like the future."

Crammed full of drama and emotion, plus detail in every corner! I loved the little slug people just living their lives around the edges of the panels.

Really fun graphic novel. I read the last 200 pages in one sitting. Basically, it has the same premise as the Pacific Rim movies except it's also about two adolescent girls and their teen drama. There is a whole cast of quirky, memorable characters. Parts of it are pretty funny. There's some great situational irony involving the school bullies. The plot is pretty straightforward, but it has enough twists and surprises to keep things interesting. I don't know that much about art, but the style is lively and reminds me of Crumb at times. Check it out.

I teach a non-traditional English class. This book was just the right amount of humor, serious moral issues, and action to keep our attention the whole way through. Reading felt effortless. With books like this, my students will hopefully learn to love reading for the rest of their lives and even join book clubs. The author’s graphic novel biography was also an amazing read for us…very inspiring for my struggling students who love to draw. We’re ready for more!
