Although pushed into retirement by old age, Grandfather and his
constant canine companion Roo quickly find themselves thrust back
into action onboard the ominously named Unsinkable, in search of
the mythical King Cod. Written as a series of short letters to his
gender-neutral grandchild and as the Unsinkable's ship log,
Grandfather again finds himself suffering from a bout of bad luck
compounded by Roo and her finicky ways, which seem to change with
the wind. It isn't long before the Unsinkable gives the lie to its
name and the adventurers find themselves in the titular bind.
Black-and-white illustrations are sprinkled throughout, with short
quirky annotations from Grandfather that add even more humor and
depth to this zany adventure. Packed with silly hijinks and
fantastical creatures, this last of the Lasts (The Last Cowboys,
2008, etc.), with its endearing duo of grandfather and Roo,
delivers fun for readers new to chapter books. (Fiction. 6-8)
