Doc Wilde and the Frogs of Doom / Tim Byrd / 186 pages / August Challenge - South America
Although this is not a graphic novel, it reads very much like a comic book. It has all the action and thrills and quick plot twists and even strategically placed word balloons. Doc Wilde, Brian and Wren Wilde, Phineas Bartlett and Declan Mac Coul fly their autogyro, Colibri (French for hummingbird) to the the " republic of Hildago, a South American country nestled in the vast region between Brazil, Columbia, and Peru. It is a land of rain forests and mountains with the mighty Amazon River rushing west to east through its heart." Their mission is to rescue Grandfather Wilde from the mysterious Frogon and dark matter forces, and ultimately to save the world. Great fun and nonstop adventure and great literary quotes throughout make this a most enjoyable read!
