Beastie Bros 2: Dungeons and Dragonflies
The second comical and exciting adventure following Beastie Bros, Dribble the snail and Dash the firefly is here! In this adventure, the two brothers find themselves trapped in an ants’ nest and must solve the mystery of the missing Gumdrop of Destiny and deal with the baddies, the Dung Heap Gang. Lost underground in the maze of tunnels, they meet strange creatures and discover new kingdoms.
While wildly ridiculous fun takes center stage, it is the brothers’ friendship that is at the core of this story. The bold comic-style graphics are energetic and silly, a standout feature – bringing the chaotic energy of the story to each page. A nice mix of cheeky laughs and gross gags, with wise-cracking footnote illustrations sure to engage even the most reluctant readers. Amid the humour and mayhem, the story delivers a meaningful message about self-acceptance and the value of individuality.
Readers will delight in an interactive choose-your-own-adventure chapter, bug facts and even a game. A great choice for those who love graphic novels as this is overflowing with illustrations, or those seeking high energy and ridiculous buggy grossness. The full-of-life characters leap off the page, making it a blast to read aloud – especially with all the silly voices and over-the-top reactions you can bring to life.
Packed with hilarious details in both text and illustrations, this is the kind of book kids and grown-ups will love discovering (and laughing at) together.
