The Floating Island: The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Young Ven is shipwrecked by pirates during his first voyage. Rescued by a kind captain, Ven investigates the haunting of his new home, an inn staffed by orphans and outcasts. In Haydon's high-spirited but dark-underbellied fantasy world, evil lurks in the shadows, but loyal friends help see Ven through. Helquist's occasional textured line drawings help set the scene.
