Into the Bewilderness

‘Off-kilter comedy, animal antics, and occasional existential musings combine in this story of Luis (a dopey, good-natured, and optimistic bear) and Pablo (a grumpy, pessimistic mole), an odd couple of best friends who live in the woods and embark on an adventure to the Big City. It’s a simply delightful, seamless blend of disparate parts that come together into an enchanting whole that will charm middle-graders with offbeat senses of humor.’ – Booklist (starred review)

‘I was absolutely thrilled to discover this middle grade graphic novel that delves into [Gus Gordon’s] perennial themes – friendship, adventure, and existential musings. This is a delightful and wacky graphic novel that will have adventurous spirits of all ages smiling as they follow this charming pair. The book doesn’t talk down to readers, containing impressive vocabulary and concepts that work on a number of levels. It’s a gorgeous little hardback and an absolute joy for ages 9+.’ – Readings

‘Let me just wipe away the tears of laughter so that I can review this glorious, hilarious, heartwarming book … Gordon writes with wit, warmth, and compassion … A gem of a book, highly recommended for 8 years all the way to adulthood!’ – Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Reading Time
