A fantasy middle grade graphic novel with pretty art but needed a more solid plot. We follow Kerry as he gets lost in the woods while trying to get home with medicine for his parents. A magical waystone, called Waystone, claims to be the 'Knight of the Forest' and assists in helping lost children get home. The book is 95% wandering in the forest and 5% plot so it's not the most exciting or fun book I've ever read. Short attention spans may find it hard to stick through. But the art is lovely and the ending was sweet.

Pretty good, nice to look at, fantasy-ish book where a kid has to adventure through a forest.

I have this series of jokes I call my "two-est" jokes.

For example: What do you call a small forest? A two-est.

The bee who collects the most honey should be called an A-minus.

You get it, you just upgrade or downgrade the thing, grades, weights, size, etc.

My partner, Poonmaster Flex, HATES these jokes. You know how someone you spend a lot of time with comes to hate the little quirks about you they once loved? Definitely that situation.

I feel like the only way I'll turn her around on this stuff is if I have a near-death experience. Then she'll be like, "Oh, why didn't I enjoy those two-est jokes while I could!? If he recovers, I'll never roll my eyes at one of them again."

Of course, this'll buy me 6 months, max, before I come up with a bad one and she rolls her eyes involuntarily, risking severe injury with all the built up rolling in her head.

It's fine but not very memorable to me in terms of story, characters, or art - except the tiny spiky bebe. I don't have specific criticism (which seems not unusual with this book) but I certainly didn't burn with passion. It's nice and I wouldn't wrinkle my nose at another title by the author.
