About This Book
In Robert Christie's graphic novel, Captain Quenterindy Quirk and his entourage embark on an adventure that leads them to an unexpected, highly advanced civilization beneath Crutonia. The twist is that the inhabitants of this new world are not at all impressed by Quirk's 'inept' exploration methods, creating a humorous and challenging situation for the captain and his crew. This book is perfect for young readers aged 4-11 who enjoy fantasy, adventure, and a good laugh, exploring themes of perseverance, self-acceptance, and finding your place even when you feel out of your depth.
Captain Quenterindy Quirk and his entourage discover a highly advanced civilization beneath the surface of Crutonia, but the rulers of this newly discovered world have little use for inept explorers and their quests.
