Publisher synopsis: Failing to get the attention of her busy father, a lonely girl turns back to a fantastic world for friendship and adventure. It’s her third journey into the enticing realm of kings and emperors, castles and canals, exotic creatures and enchanting landscapes. This time, it will take something truly powerful to persuade her to return home, as a gripping backstory is revealed that will hold readers in its thrall. Caldecott Honor winner Aaron Becker delivers a suspenseful and moving climax to his wordless trilogy, an epic that began with the award-winning Journeyand continued with the celebrated follow-up Quest.
I collect wordless books and constantly encourage LA and other teachers to try to incorporate them as read alouds and writing prompts. The first two books are nothing less than magical and the conclusion has already garnered starred reviews.
Hope you enjoy it!
