Reading Challenges:

After climbing Over the Woodward Wall and making their way across the forest, Avery and Zib found themselves acquiring some extraordinary friends in their journey through the Up-and-Under.

After staying the night, uninvited, at a pirate queen’s cottage in the woods, the companions find themselves accountable to its owner, and reluctantly agree to work off their debt as her ship sets sail, bound for lands unknown. But the queen and her crew are not the only ones on board, and the monsters at sea aren’t all underwater.

The friends will need to navigate the stormy seas of obligation and honor on their continuing journey along the improbable road

Another installment in Avery and Zib’s adventures in the Up and Under. I’m still getting the vibes of a cross between The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. For this slim volume, we are treated to a whole new area on the sea with a fascinating cast of characters. Captain Alas is a gem in this one. I do think that Baker could have pumped up the path to the sea and cut out the big “previously on” chapter at the beginning. But I really enjoyed the adventure and cannot until the next one is published.
