AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When Quinn's parents fight, he gets into his "Quiet Ship" and blasts off into space, away from the arguing and into a safe space. But one night, there fighting is too loud and he can't blast off, so Quinn confronts his parents. 

It was a great idea for a child to have a safe space where they can escape, even emotionally for a bit if things are rough at home. I'm glad his situation turned out well. AJ liked the pictures, especially the funny alien and the sad face on Quinn told us exactly how he was feeling. I'm not sure if it's good advice to tell a kid to yell back at their yelling parents.
