Surprise Island by Gertrude Chandler Warner

dude, what the fuck

When I was a kid I remember only being super interested in the first two books in the series because they were all about kids surviving on their own and that was My Jamâ„¢, and when I saw they had been adapted to graphic novels, I assumed they would be in the Raina Telgemeier arena. But no, this is hella adapted to the point that I almost wondered if it was a parody. It is that fucking bad. How do you cut a book to about 15% its original and, of all things, decide that the best thing to keep is a bunch of shit about "finding Indian stuff" and a really questionable long lost relative? The only thing I truly remembered about this book was picking and shelling peas, and lucky for me that was in like one panel, but otherwise this is completely incomprehensible as a narrative and jut horrible in its creative choices. Throw it in the trash.
