A Boy and a Bear in a Boat

by Dave Shelton

A boy and a bear set sail with nothing but a suitcase, a comic book, and a ukulele. It’s meant to be a short trip—but things quickly go off course.

Storms rage, sea monsters lurk, and one very questionable sandwich threatens everything. As their boat, the Harriet, battles the wild waves, the pair must cling to hope—and wait to see if anyone will answer their message in a bottle.
