Not everyone is rejoicing about the Helmsleys’ return, though. Rumors are flying all around the unusual town of Rosewood. Maybe his grandparents weren’t ever on that iceberg. Maybe they made it all up. And maybe the especially harsh winter is all their fault. Everyone is blaming the Helmsley Curse.
But Archer knows the rumors are false. There is no curse. His grand-parents are being framed.
With his best friends, Oliver and Adélaïde, and their new neighbor, Kana, Archer sets out on his biggest adventure yet: rescuing his grandparents’ reputa-
tion. It will mean unearthing the secrets that a powerful man wants to keep hidden, infiltrating the society of explorers in the heart of Rosewood, and braving the blizzard of the century.
But don’t worry. Archer has a plan.
Sort of.
Recenzii
“The Doldrums are back with another fast-paced and quirky adventure. ..Fans of idiosyncratic fantasies, as well as the first book, will enjoy this treat.” — School Library Journal
“Gannon’s subtle humor and vibrant cartoon illustrations guide this irreverent story about Archer, Adélaïde, and Oliver, and their new friend, Kana. ...Expressive spot art and full-color spreads make this irresistible for fans of Brian Selznick’s multimedia stories.” — ALA Booklist
“In this wildly whimsical stand-alone sequel to The Doldrums, Nicholas Gannon once again thrills and chills his readers with the adventures of characters who could have stepped out of A Series of Unfortunate Events. ...Gannon’s stunning...illustrations turn an exciting book into a complete package.” — Shelf Awareness
