The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue Bear is a whimsical, adventurous novel that transports readers into the fantastical world of Zamonia, where the extraordinary meets the surreal.

Captain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes. Unlike cats, which have only nine lives, bluebears have twenty-seven. This is fortunate, because our hero is forever avoiding disaster by a paw's breadth. In this remarkable book, Captain Bluebear tells the story of his first thirteen-and-a-half lives spent on the mysterious continent of Zamonia, where intelligence is an infectious disease and water flows uphill, where headless giants roam deserts made of sugar, and where only Captain Bluebear's courage and ingenuity enable him to escape the dangers that lie in wait for him around every corner. In company with our indomitable hero, we enter a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together, turned on its head, and lavishly illustrated by the author.

Equal parts J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein, the zany illustrated adventures of a sea-faring blue bear. --The Washington Post>

Moers's great strength, as evidenced by the multitude of characters he presents, is his creativity. Less a text and more an imagination on paper. --Philadelphia Enquirer>
