The Doldrums by Nicholas Gannon

4.0

Clever and witty, with just the right amount of kid angst. It did start out a little slow for me but about a quarter of the way thru I was hooked. This is a book that will really appeal to a certain kind of young person, I think, one who dreams of adventure and is also on the bookish nerd side. The illustrations are fantastic and add so much to the story. I'm glad to see this is the first of a series! Very recommended.
