Illustrated by
Katherine Ferrier.
In Wake Up, forest creatures surprise Hotel Strange's eccentric proprietors, who haven't yet prepared the lodge for their springtime visitors because of enduring wintry weather; where could Mr. Spring be? Sapphire's Trail finds the characters embroiled in a mystery that interrupts the hotel's music festival. These colorful, imaginative picture-book-size comics from France are filled with quirky characters; each includes a recipe. Review covers these Hotel Strange titles: On the Sapphire's Trail and Wake Up, Spring.
