Graphic Novel Spotlight - Danger on Mount Choco

 

Blue,Barry, & Pancakes: Danger on Mount Choco by Dan Abdo and Jason Patterson

If you're a fan of quirky cartoons then this is a series for you. A trio of friends go on a madcap adventure to make the world's best ice cream sundae, encountering a variety of challenges and odd creatures along the way. If the reader can accept that this world follows it's own rules than it follows it's own internal logic.  Visually, it's quite dynamic. There is a lot of variety in the panels. The main characters themselves are different enough to create enough interest on the page. While this book is part of a series, the characters and plot are simple enough to follow without any introductory information. And it's not just silliness. There is some simple messaging about being a good friend and the places where we find fulfillment.
