Pablo & Jane and the Hot Air Contraption

Author: Jose Domingo

This square format padded book is part comic strip and part treasure hunt as the reader helps Pablo and Jane find the missing machine parts that will help complete the Hot Air Time Contraption and allow them to make their escape! The illustrations are totally unique and children will enjoy exploring the scenes to locate the next vital piece of the machine. Dodge trolls in Nocturnal Norway, look out for nefarious nesting dolls in Monstrous Moscow and beware the voodoo in Bone-Chilling Bayou before picking up the comic book story before the end. The locations are exotic, there is danger to avoid on every page and particularly keen explorers will relish in the list of additional things to find at the back of the book. For the price this is a well-produced book that holds hours of finding fun, and looks cool enough to be seen with at school!
