The Amazing Journey of Lucky the Lobster Buoy

32 pp. | Down East | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-89272-791-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 After fisherman's son Tim carves his first lobster buoy, it proves lucky--until its line is accidentally cut. The buoy's wild journey across the ocean and, eventually, back into Tim's arms is depicted in wordless panels. The cartoonlike buoy sits discomfortingly against the more realistic-looking illustrations, but young readers may suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the implausible ride.
