First sentence: Eliot was a great adventurer. After it rained, he sailed the high seas. And in the shadows, he tracked the trails of wild beasts.
Premise/plot: Eliot is a little boy on a quest for BIG adventures. He won’t be satisfied until he has a REAL adventure. Will his grandfather help him out? Can these two adventurous souls set out on an adventure of their own?
My thoughts: I really liked this one. I was charmed by it. I think in large part because of the illustrations. I liked Eliot. I liked the grandpa. I liked how these two got to know each other better. And I just found the story satisfying.
