The aliens have arrived. And they're hungry for electricity. In the Earth of the future, humans are on the run from an alien force-giant blobs who suck up electrical devices wherever they can find them. Strata and her family are part of a caravan of digital rescuers, hoping to keep the memory of civilization alive by saving electronics wherever they can. Many humans have reverted to a pre-electrical age, and others have taken advantage of the invasion to become dangerous bandits and outlaws. When Strata and her brother are separated from the caravan, they must rely on a particularly beautiful and rare robot pony to escape the outlaws and aliens - and defeat the invaders once and for all!

"Hale imbues his latest with pathos, action, and perfectly timed moments of comedy, but it's the imaginative landscape, spot-on visual pacing, and confident line work that make this adventure tale really zing."--Booklist "The aliens themselves are visu-ally exceptional--huge, gluttonous, and oozing privilege in both their actions and their physical presentations."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Set in a land that blends Stone Age elements and highly advanced technology, this graphic novel adventure features the same mix of humor and derring-do that makes Hale's "Hazardous Tales" so popular."--School Library Journal "With an engaging, racially diverse cast this high-stakes epic adventure should have wide appeal...Hale shepherds this complex narrative with the same sure hand as his graphic novel series of real stories from history."--Horn Book Magazine "Hale blends adventure, aliens, an apocalyptic future, and folklore into an easy-to-read stand-alone."--Kirkus " The story combines an exciting science fiction plot with down-to-earth teenage characters...The real allure to the work is the use of different kinds of lines used to build textures, provide atmosphere, and portray characters."--School Library Connection "Hale's illustrations are textured and visually move the story forward, while his original storyline effortlessly combines aliens, adventure, and apocalyptic fun."--VOYA "While beautifully concise, it still manages to squeeze in loads of suspense, chills (though nothing too nightmare-inducing), action and entertaining character dynamics -- all within a refreshingly original take on post-apocalyptic hellscapes."--New York Times Book Review
