pickA fun underwater adventure inspired by stories from L. Frank Baum. Trot is a surfer girl who finds herself rescued by sea sirens after a bade wipeout. Along with her cat, Cap'n Bill, and her grandfather, they explore the underwater kingdom--only to find themselves in the midst of an ancient war between sirens and sea serpents.
“While mom works, Grandpa takes care of me. And I take care of him. This is Cap‘n Bill. He was a stray I found on the beach and brought home. Bill mostly takes care of himself...like any cat.”
pickLushly colored, beautifully Art Deco, with a Maine Coonish cat, and a girl trying to care for her sick grandfather, this is lovely. The story is pretty standard, a girl finds herself in a magical land. But it has interesting, well developed layers and details.
pickIf L. Frank Baum‘s OZ and Erik Shannower‘s OZ had a baby that didn‘t want to live in OZ, this is the book you‘d get. Sweet story that‘s not over told and absolutely gorgeous art. Great for kids and OZ fans of all ages. #kidslit #childrensbooks #middlegrade #vikingbooks #litsywelcomewagon
