In this offbeat existential exploration of what it means to be a someone, a second-person narrative speaks directly to readers: "You are a boat." The boat, with cavernous rooms and one big "furnace-heart," sails some perilous seas, but strength, smarts, and an eye to the horizon see her through. The scratchy, cartoonlike illustrations are by turns ominous and reassuring in just the right places.

"Dear Yeti, / We're searching for you. / Sincerely, / Hikers." In this sweet, suspenseful tale, two friends search for the elusive yeti, who readers will delight in spotting in close proximity to the unaware hikers. In Kwan's pointillist-precise art, the yeti has a human-like face that reflects its compassion, as when it saves the hikers from a grizzly bear.
