Get ready for mischievous monkeys! Moving islands! And a splashy
adventure with illustrations on almost every page.
When Oliver's explorer parents go missing, he sets sail to find them
with some new friends. There's a grumpy albatross, a nearsighted mermaid
. . . even a living island! But the high seas are more exciting and
strange than Oliver could have imagined. Can he and his crew spar with
sarcastic seaweed, outrun an army of sea monkeys, win a fabulous
maritime fashion contest, and defeat a wicked sea captain in time to
save Mom and Dad?
For early chapter book readers who are ready for something longer, the
Not-So-Impossible Tales are packed with silly humor, action, and
larger-than-life fun. This book was previously published in hardcover as
Oliver and the Seawigs.
*"[A] sly and dashing tale. . . Readers' ribs aren't the only ones
that get a vigorous tickle." --*Kirkus Reviews
"A delightfully told, beautiful tale of nautical hairdressing,
saltwater primates and sarcastic seaweed--this is my kind of book!"
--Chris Riddell, award-winning co-creator of the Edge Chronicles
