"A dreamy charmer of a book, full of clever wordplay that
practically demands it be read out loud."--New York Times Have you
ever wanted to hold a little piece of the impossible? The Doldrums
is an extraordinary debut about friendship, imagination, and the
yearning for adventure from author-artist Nicholas Gannon. A modern
classic in the making, The Doldrums is for readers of inventive and
timeless authors such as Brian Selznick and Lemony Snicket. The
paperback edition is exquisitely illustrated throughout with
black-and-white artwork. Archer B. Helmsley wants an adventure. No,
he needs an adventure. His grandparents were famous explorers . . .
until they got stuck on an iceberg. Now Archer's mother barely lets
him out of the house. As if that would stop a true Helmsley. Archer
enlists Adelaide--the girl who, according to rumor, lost her leg to
a crocodile--and Oliver--the boy next door--to help him rescue his
grandparents. The Doldrums whisks us off on an adventure full of
sly humor, incredible detail, and enormous heart. With
approximately twenty full-page pieces of breathtaking
black-and-white artwork, as well as spot illustrations, and
gorgeous, literary writing, Nicholas Gannon proves himself to be a
distinctive new voice with his middle grade debut. Be in it for the
limitless imagination. For the characters who capture your heart.
For the rich world you'll want to settle into. But most of all, be
in it for the friendship. That, after all, is the true adventure.
