Illustrated by
Marie-Louise Gay.
Charlie, Max, and their parents (Summer in the City) visit Croatia. This slim volume is packed full of their adventures in an unfamiliar landscape, from almost getting arrested (because Max has to pee) to meeting the mysterious hermit of Vrgada and learning about the costs of war. Charlie's wide-eyed first-person point of view keeps this latest travel romp as fresh as the others.
