The Doldrums
by Nicholas Gannon
3.5*
A charming book with incredible illustrations, all about quirky kids who decide to go on an adventure. What made it stand out was how quaint and adorable it was. When you're about eleven or twelve, you're starting to realise that life isn't exactly like Narnia, or the Famous Five, or whatever. And it's a pretty sad thing. This helps restore some of the magic. It's got serious Peter Pan London vibes...if Peter Pan never arrived, and the Darlings just kept playing make-believe. A quick afternoon read, for when you want to feel like an eleven-year-old who wants to escape the sameness of life :D <3
