I’m absolutely floored by how well Chris Grine has adapted these books so far! I appreciated they corrected false animal facts from the original books, and also loved a page that added a new joke from Marco. This book is a rough one — it’s where we first see just how much Tobias is struggling, and in his first pov book too! Chris did a great job capturing those feelings - using text when necessary, and art when not.

Great adaptation for one of the best books in the series!
