That is, until a wise old man hears their last name: M’Chawi. Rattled by this realization, he sends them off on a journey that will uncover the secret behind their mystic lineage and give them purpose and power far from home -- on the Moon! They encounter the Moon’s fantastic inhabitants: the Sky Pirates and their merciless Queen Melissa; the Groos, blue primates and genius mechanics; their robot protector, Moma Machina; and a kingdom of singing spiders giant enough to eat a man.\"Equal parts Jules Verne, Huck Finn, and Bone...a star-spanning, page-turning epic for the ages.\"\n\nLooks can be deceiving, and those who first appear frightening can turn out to be allies, and even friends. Take Prince Grakko, pampered heir-apparent to the Bat-People.\n\nThe Moon is a land locked in constant battle. Races live in fear and ignorance of one another. To make matters worse, the siblings’ getaway isn’t as clean as they’d hoped, and the Earth Queen’s Grand Inquisitor is hot on their trail. Armed with a bejeweled dagger, pendant, and pure hearts, Max and Molly must unite the denizens of the Moon under a common cause, before humanity’s folly reduces their world to rubble.\n\nKevin's first graphic novel \u003cem\u003eFantastic Life \u003c\/em\u003ewas released in 2011 and received the Xeric Award.
