Terrific by Jon Agee

Terrific by Jon Agee

When grumpy Eugene wins a free cruise to Bermuda, he thinks he knows just what to expect: a really nasty sunburn. But instead, after a shipwreck, he finds himself stranded on a tiny island with no one--except for a parrot with a busted wing. Terrific, says Eugene. What good is a parrot?

* Agee uses tone, pacing, and deadpan humor to great effect; his masterful illustrations beg to be shared with a group-Horn Book, starred review

* An upbeat conclusion that trumpets the power of friendship provides an unironic 'Terrific!' at last. -Publishers Weekly, starred review
