The kids from Journey follow an old man--who's seized by soldiers after giving them an orange crayon and a map--back into that book's fantastical land. They follow the map along various quests to collect different-colored crayons and save the old man. Becker's illustrations are satisfyingly lush and full of subtle clues that will reward multiple readings.
