Life can be tough for a loner like Emily. She’s had enough of being the perfect target for bullies. She persuades her brother and sister to run away with her to Galumphagos Island, a paradise on earth. But they find out that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the street, or even the other side of the ocean. They need all their courage and cleverness — and a little luck, too — to get out of the mess they landed in. Seth Eisner blends fantastic creatures, exotic travel, non-stop action, and humor in his story about three young children who learn that real courage isn’t just about adventures. It’s usually about ordinary things, like asking that other lonely girl if you can share her lunch table. Journey to Galumphagos is sure to entertain both adults and children.
About Seth Eisner:
Seth Eisner was an unemployed English professor who wrote a 400-page dissertation on Jane Austen before he gave up trying to be poor and went to law school. He spent most of his career as inside counsel at Kraft Foods. He retired as Vice President and Associate General Counsel.
Seth has been married to Rosalind for 44 years during which she has shown almost infinite patience. They have three adult children, three children-in-law, and six grandchildren, none yet old enough to read Journey to Galumphagos, but they will be by the time the sequel comes out next year.

My Review:
I see bullying stories on the news every day. I was so happy that this book was about getting along and using your head to get out of trouble.I also really liked how the author got the green grass plot to have a positive ending. The pictures were fantastic and the book was easy to read. The names and creatures are sure to entertain kids, and even I wanted to learn more about them. I also liked the "yuck"s in the story, especially the broccoli. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your review of my book. I'm glad you liked it. And, oh, about those peanut butter sandwiches -- that might get a little more complicated. You'll have to read the sequel to find out, and I'll have to finish writing it before I know for sure.
