"[Santiago's] wild antics are depicted in humorous detail in
illustrations that bring the historical setting to life. Slapstick
humor and stylized, exaggerated representations of an impish
Santiago contribute to the story's liveliness and fast pace.
Extensive, detailed source notes show how much research went into
the work. . . . Scientific discoveries spring to life in this
action-packed graphic novel."—Kirkus Reviews
"A meeting of science and art that urges readers to hold onto their
passions, this graphic novel is a . . . funny, ultimately inspiring
read."—School Library Journal
"Well-researched and packed with tongue-in-cheek hijinks, Hosler
delivers a witty and earnest depiction of a boy who wholeheartedly
believes that art can help people see the world and change the way
one thinks."—Publishers Weekly
"An astounding book. Leave it to Jay Hosler to infuse the biography
of the Spanish neuroscientist, Santiago Ramon y
Cajal, with Calvin-and-Hobbes-style energy. I loved Santiago!"
— Gene Yang, creator of American Born Chinese
"Santiago is a fun and lively illustration of the link between Art
and Science."—Rafael Rosado, illustrator of The Ultra Squad
series
"A delightful celebration of a charming troublemaker who changed
the world." —Jorge Aguirre, author of The Chronicles of Claudette
series
