Love love loved this - where is the rest!!!?

A gorgeously illustrated story about an alien forced to live as the opposite gender to her own to hide on earth away from some evil beings. The book addresses the stress of living a constant lie. The graphics are beautiful and the story is touching and fun with some adorable diverse characters. I am really hoping for more as it ends on a cliff hanger (a happy one though!) extra points for genetically modified corgi. very cute!

This is an incredibly sad book. I liked it, but I really didn’t like it, y’a know. I felt really sorry for the poor “older brother” character, stuck in his human body forever!

Review of 'Galaxy' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

An alien princess has to live their life as a teenage boy on Earth in order to hide from her people’s enemies. But with the help of a new friend Katherine, she realises she doesn’t want to hide in a body that isn’t hers any longer.

The art is beautiful and there were so many spots that really made me cry hard. In particular when Katherine helps her dress up for a party in her true body: “I can’t do this. I can’t be this. It’s wrong, I know it’s wrong because… because… because it feels too... It feels wrong and right and beautiful and awful and I love how I look and everyone is going to laugh at me and I can’t handle it. I can’t. I’m not strong enough. I can’t breathe. I can’t look like this. I don’t deserve it.”
