Perfect for fans of
The Wild Robot
, Gus Gordon’s graphic novel debut follows two furry friends on a clever and cozy adventure when they embark on a journey to the Big City for the first time.
In the Bewilderness, life is good.
Best friends Luis (the large furry one) and Pablo (the small furry one) spend their days wandering through nature, playing songs on the guitar, and eating Slow Joe McNally’s pinecone porridge with their neighbors.
When dreamer Luis receives an unexpected invitation to attend a performance of
The Weary Mermaid
in the big, bustling city, he finds it hard to ignore the allure of the bright lights.
Luckily, he doesn’t have to go it alone—and it’s a good thing, because it’s a long journey through the Bewilderness, and Luis has many questions. Will they meet laser-eyed gargoyles, zombie chickens, or tyrannical cow rulers? Will they get there on time? Why is quicksand so slow if it’s called
quick
sand? Thankfully, with his grumpy but loyal best friend by his side, they’ll soon find out.
. . . Or will they?
