I really enjoyed Explorer 2: The Lost Islands. A collection of short graphic stories about Islands, some are life on the an island while others are about being stranded on an island. What I found interesting was that all the characters stranded on the islands have no idea how they got there...no lost at sea or shipwrecked stories.

This was almost perfect, almost. The last two stories, RADIO ADRIFT and THE FISHERMEN, were boring and lacked the wisdom, whimsy, and poignancy of the preceding stories. I found the other stories to be profound, thought-provoking, and moving, where as these last two didn't pack the same punch.
RABBIT ISLAND and DESERT ISLAND PLAYLIST were the 2 stories that really stood out to me as memorable and moving.
Best art definitely goes to [a:Chrystin Garland|7055316|Chrystin Garland|https://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-d9f6a4a5badfda0f69e70cc94d962125.png], stunning, bright and dark at the same time! Awesome!
A great read for all ages.

i rarely like graphic novels that are compilations of different authors, but i found myself liking the first one, then the next, etc. and there i was liking the whole book. hmm

I remembered most of these stories when rereading it so it was a quick reread.

These are a lot more wholesome than the first group of stories. A lot of these would be great teaching tools in the classroom.
