anxious about using arguably the greatest public-transportation
system on the planet.” - Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

hit
recommended for all collections." - School Library Journal
STARRED REVIEW
"Young readers enamored by the Big Apple will be both delighted by
the wealth of information and atmospheric artwork and encouraged by
Pablo and Alicia’s successful, if a bit nervewracking, solo
journeys." - Booklist STARRED REVIEW
"With humor and sensitivity, Spiegelman reveals how getting lost
can be the first step toward finding your waywhile also giving NYC
residents and visitors alike a valuable primer on the subway system
and its history." - Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
"In this vibrant graphic-novel picture book, Spiegelman’s lively
text is superbly matched by García Sánchez’s art. His detailed
images from every perspective, filled with trains, stations,
people, streets, skyscrapers, and even maps, vividly convey the
kids’ travels below and above ground." - The Horn Book STARRED
REVIEW
"A graphic novel tale of friendship that combines fascinating facts
about the New York subway system, the Empire State Building,
history and geography." - Jennifer M. Brown for Shelf Awareness
STARRED REVIEW
"García’s adroit art bursts with activity, while the story
highlights the ingenuity city life brings out in the young." - The
New York Times
"Aimed at 'visual learners,' this elegantly presented and
emotionally satisfying graphic story is well worth the time even of
children who have never set foot in Manhattan." - The Wall Street
Journal
"Visually stunning (to say nothing of its accuracy) with abundant
factual information wriggled into every available crevice, you
don’t have to be a New Yorker to enjoy this book (though, boy, does
it sure help).” - Betsy Bird, New York Public Library's Youth
Materials Specialist
García Sánchez's artwork perfectly complements Spiegelman's
heartfelt and informative narrative, offering glimpses of the
thousands of subway commuters from all walks of life crowding into
busy stations and onto packed subway trains.” KidsReads
"I’m declaring it required reading for natives and tourists alike.
Because get this: it is now MY FAVORITE NEW YORK BOOK OF ALL TIME."
