Legend of the Narwhals by Robert Skead
When Prince Asgar's mother disappears he decides to go looking for her. Joining him are his best friend, Tuka, and his little sister, Kari. Along the way is danger, adventure, and legends.
This was okay. It is a fun little adventure, fantasy story. But I don't like Prince Asgar. I don't like the way he treats his father, his best friend or his sister. So the idea of him being a hero was not appealing to me. The black and white illustrations were cute, with bold clean outlines, almost like they came out of a coloring book. And I'm glad they put some narwhal facts at the end. I like a story with Snow Monsters and I'm glad they didn't make them the bad guys here. And though I like the idea of the narwhal connection it was awkwardly constructed in the the story. It had a few moments that I enjoyed but I don't think it ever came together completely.
