Imagine a road trip where everything that could go wrong, goes wrong and more. Beautifully written and a good story but I did skim some parts as it just became long winded. I think I would have enjoyed this more if there weren‘t so many characters telling the story. But if you are up for an epic adventure story I would definitely recommend this!

4 ⭐ Jayme Lee Curtis is a master at asking a child‘s question. The thoughts and imagination of our narrator take them up high and down low in perfect drawing. It also has spot on cadence and amazing illustrations. If there was a GOAT of a celebrity author, it is Jayme Lee Curtis. And fun bit if you ever read one of her books check out her bio. She has done so much that I love how she chooses to write her bio in her kids books.

2.5 To be honest I like Seth Meyers bio on the cover better than I like the book. This book is fine. It‘s about a bear that doesn‘t want to admit they are scared while their rabbit friend is adventurous. Bear eventually overcomes their fright when a friend needs help. I wish the story might have gotten into everything that bear did to go on an adventure while not going on an adventure was an adventure.

LibrarianRyan But getting on a bus and a train and a helicopter was a type of an adventure. So I think the book missed the mark pointing that out. This book is also overly long. And it does not sound like Seth Meyers. Parts of it that I‘m not scared you‘re scared sounds exactly like him. But the rest of the story does not have the way with words we see him using his show. The book is nice and kids are going to like it, but I think it‘s a one shot and 5h

I doubt Captain Cook met a fuzzy blue whale on his last voyage, but I‘m about to find out.

I felt their children and grandchildren, eager to meet me and see if I was as interesting as their parents had said.
And I felt my Yashaa, bearded and wrinkled, when he pressed his lips to mine.

I‘m fairly certain this is a graphic based on the author‘s novels.

Repairman Jack is a fixer of a variety of Really Bad Things ™️

Prime Bad Thing here is Scar-Lip whom we are told is a Rakshasa, a demon in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Folk Islam.

You‘ve likely seen its image in Hindi art images. I mean, you‘re a Bad Thing so the scar on its face is incidental.

A decent read from Dynamite Comics.

SKREE!!

danx I must go find this. I just finished The Keep last night, first of his writings I‘ve read. 19h

I didn't really know anything about Captain Cook before reading this. Very interesting to read about his approach to exploration and the people he encountered.
