Best known for his celebrated series Flight and Amulet, award-winning comics creator and editor Kibuishi presents the second volume of his comics anthology geared toward middle-school readers, after Explorer: The Mystery Boxes (2012). This collection features seven minicomics written or drawn by comics luminaries, such as Raina Telgemeier (Drama, 2012), Dave Roman, Michel Gagné, and Kibuishi himself. Each fun and fantastical story centers on the theme of islands, both in a physical and philosophical sense. Kate Shanahan and Dave Shanahan’s “Radio Adrift” tells the story of a radio DJ who wants to travel, so he takes his station with him. Roman and Telgemeier’s “Desert Island Playlist,” meanwhile, finds a lonely girl—who already felt alienated from her friends and family—on a probably metaphorical desert island, where she discovers convenient company after some tidy self-reflection. Though not as inventive as its debut volume, this sophomore effort’s solid artwork, dialogue, and stories will still be a great introductory title for young or struggling middle-school readers starting to explore the world of graphic novels. Grades 4-8. --Candice Mack

The colors pop and the artwork sings throughout the seven stories featured in EXPLORER: THE LOST ISLANDS, the second anthology from editor Kazu Kibuishi (the creator behind the wonderful Amulet series). Kibuishi’s AMULET is known for these eye-grabbing splashes, which take full advantage of the spectrum of four-color creativity that comics allows, so it’s no surprise to see them on display here as well.
The anthology opens with Jake Parker’s “Rabbit Island,” a parable about laziness overtaking a teamwork-filled island of bunnies. Parker is the creator behind the kid-friendly MISSILE MOUSE, and his story shares some of the fun and innocence found in those books.
From there we launch right into the spooky and somewhat eerie “The Mask Dance” from Chrystin Garland. A girl searching for her father is offered a free ferry ride to a bizarre island, where she is told her father awaits. But there is something far more sinister in store.
Jason Caffoe’s delightful “Carapace” is next. A boy lost on an island finds adventure and friendship with a crab spirit and learns how to fend for himself in an inhospitable environment.
“Desert Island Playlist,” by Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier, is a standout tale of three females --- a baby, a teenager, and an old woman --- all trapped on a desert island with just three songs each and a book they love to keep them entertained. But as they get to know each other better, they discover some strange connections between them all.
Michel Gagné’s “Loah” is simply gorgeous. Lush aquamarine colors fill seas inhabited by orange, brown, and red fish in a sparsely worded tale. “Radio Adrift” by Katie Shanahan and Steven Shanahan is the story of a mage in training who is trying to hatch a pixie egg.
