But there are frightening unknowns lurking around every corner. Can he summon the courage to brave the dark and stop his rumbling tummy?

    Publishers Weekly
  • “Digital art effectively depicts Sir Julian’s wide range of emotions, from trepidation to terror to triumph … kids will enjoy comic nods like the overly dramatic depiction of the unfamiliar—and therefore—monstrous dinner.”
    Kirkus
