Otis and Peanut are back with more playful and profound stories in the third instalment of this critically acclaimed junior graphic novel series. Together, the iconic long-haired guinea pig and naked mole rat continue to navigate deep truths about life and human nature while letting their sweet and supportive friendship shine.

In "The Trip," Peanut helps Otis overcome his fear of leaving home by practicing going somewhere without going anywhere. In "The Stone," Otis begins to discover how time can help to smooth over sadness. And in "The Visit," during a very short time with his sister Marion, Otis comes to realize the joys of losing the plan and embracing spontaneity.

Bold, comic artwork with contrasting hues and delightful detail brings the endearing characters to life in these stories that expertly tackle heavy themes of fear, grief, and anxiety with humour and a lighthearted touch. (From OwlKids)
