His aliens are delightfully bizarre, and plucky Red, whose determination is admirable, if occasionally grating to her compatriots, showcases a lively range of emotion. James Mayhew's Miranda the Castaway (1996) Mary Casanova's When Eagles Fall (2002) Terry Pratchett's Nation (2008) Eddie Pittman's Red's Planet (2016). Pittman, who made a name for himself as an animator for Disney, brings a similar visual style, humor, and pacing to this story, as well as a nicely articulated sense of movement and action. Now, not only is Red far from home, she is totally stranded with a bunch of weird creatures who can’t seem to get along and one grouchy lion in a Hawaiian shirt who could help but really doesn’t want to. While traipsing out of town, Red is abducted by a pair of collectibles-loving aliens to their museum ship, but a surprise attack leads to a crash landing on a deserted planet. That, coupled with powerful wanderlust and fierce independence, means that Red is going to strike out on her own-way out. At her foster home, Red-one of seven kids-never quite gets enough. ![]()
