calistareads 's review for:
The Unsinkable Walker Bean
by Aaron Renier
Well, this is a pirate future set sometime in the past with modern day ideas like putting wheels on a boat. There is a mystical myth about mermaids who protect these skulls and one was stolen. It is evil and trying to escape and Walker must return the Skull against all odds to save the world and his grandfather.
It has a lot going for it and the artwork is lovely - really splendid. Yet, with everything else, I didn't totally connect with the book. It was enough to keep me going with the story and there were some fun and interesting albeit far-fetched ideas. Still, some little thing was missing. I don't know what really.
I think it will be enjoyed by anyone into adventure and pirate stories who enjoy those things.
