Twins Sam and Wyatt are separated by aliens. Sam is kidnapped and taken to a distant galaxy, while her brother Wyatt is left with those whom the aliens thought worthless: the old, too young, and disabled. Wyatt is working on a rebellion on earth, while Sam is caught up in an alien civil war where she is threatened from both sides.
Last Pick’s strength is its diversity. There is a deaf character who signs, crippled people, old people, different ethnicities and Sam and her friend Mia share a kiss. The artwork is colorful and fun and the story dives right in. However the storyline jumps back and forth from earth and Wyatt, to space and Sam pretty quickly so sometimes it’s a little confusing. The storyline didn’t advance the story as much as I’d hoped, but that is the peril of middle books in a trilogy. If you’ve always been pulling for geeks to triumph, this could be your book.
