I am a huge fan of Kazu Kibuishi. His artwork and his stories are so beautiful, so I know when he pulls together an anthology it is going to be phenomenal and this one does not disappoint. Each story revolves around an island although every story is very different. And I’ll be honest for a second, most of the time when I read short story anthologies, there is at least one story that is just “EH” for me, but I really liked each of these and they all fit a different purpose: Rabbit Island by Jake Parker was fun but had a great message, Loah by Michel Gagne was an artistic masterpiece, Radio Adrift by Katie and Steven Shanahan is so different from the others, etc.

These are a lot more wholesome than the first group of stories. A lot of these would be great teaching tools in the classroom.
Nice anthology of short graphic stories about islands (some lost, some not really).
I really enjoyed The Mask Dance, Desert-Island Playlist and The Fisherman. My daughter's favorite was Radio Adrift. None of us cared much about Loah, even though I loved the graphics on that one.

This second volume leaves me with the distinct impression that everyone was on a very tight deadline and didn't have enough time to develop good plots cuz these stories suck compared to the first book.
