“Beautifully realised, funny, smart, weird and surprisingly epic in scope, Home Time is also just plain brilliant.” — Shaun Tan

“Campbell Whyte’s debut graphic novel is cute, funny, scary, exciting, and cleverly constructed. The drawings are always a pleasure, each new art style blending seamlessly into the whole. I’m looking forward to the thrilling conclusion!” — Bryan Lee O’Malley

"Exuberant... It’s a richly imagined world, and Whyte immerses readers in it." — The New York Times

"[A] remarkably assured debut graphic novel... Illustrated in a variety of styles to capture the distinct voice of each protagonist, Home Time delves deep." — Comic Book Resources

"A highly original graphic novel adventure... it goes from curious to interesting to compelling to engrossing — the momentum keeps building to the point where we're on pins and needles." — Under the Radar

"[A] thoroughly entertaining and inherently compelling coming-of-age graphic novel... very highly recommended." — Midwest Book Review

"Whyte’s world-building is as impressive as his ambitious story and his mastery of the half-dozen styles he wears... Built on a foundation of kids’ fantasy classics, but with the specifics of its world unique and the psychological drama wild and unpredictable as the pre-teen mind, Home Time feels both comfortably familiar and refreshingly new and unusual at the same time." — School Library Journal's Good Comics for Kids

"Home Time: Under the River may end up being the best or be on the shortlist of best graphic novels for any age this year...There is more imagination in Whyte's story than you will find in an entire year of most of Marvel and DC Comics's superhero comic book titles." — Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin
