Kate Shanahan and Dave Shanahan’s “Radio Adrift” tells the story of a radio DJ who wants to travel, so he takes his station with him. Each fun and fantastical story centers on the theme of islands, both in a physical and philosophical sense. This collection features seven minicomics written or drawn by comics luminaries, such as Raina Telgemeier (Drama, 2012), Dave Roman, Michel Gagné, and Kibuishi himself.
A must-have for any collection.- Peter Blenski, Greenfield Public Library, W - Copyright 2013 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.īooklist - Best known for his celebrated series Flight and Amulet, award-winning comics creator and editor Kibuishi presents the second volume of his comics anthology geared toward middle-school readers, after Explorer: The Mystery Boxes (2012). Ending on Kibuishi's own cautionary tale about a power-driven sea captain, Lost Islands is a great sequel to The Mystery Boxes (Abrams, 2012) that is masterfully told and beautifully drawn. Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier's "Desert Island Playlist" does not disappoint with its thought-provoking story about a girl trying to find herself, although it may be Michel Gagné who steals the show with a visually stunning tale about a school of fish fleeing an erupting underwater volcano. Chrystin Garland expertly takes the island motif in a complete different direction with a curious girl who must escape from an island of ghosts. Jake Parker starts off with a clever and retro-looking story about an island of lazy bunnies that forget the meaning of hard work. The book's variety is its greatest strength, creating mass appeal for a wide audience through an excellent mix of art styles, tones, and themes. School Library Journal - Gr 4 Up-Carrying on the spirit of the much-loved "Flight" anthologies, Kibuishi continues his vision in this graphic novel that's filled with imaginative and kid-friendly stories.
