Carousel - by Minh Le (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

From the award-winning creators of Drawn Together comes a new story about a boy's ordinary day that transforms into an extraordinary adventure when he discovers a mysterious carousel that carries him to fantastical world.

Here I am again,
going round and round . . .
. . . and going nowhere fast.

What happens when you step off your usual path? Come along with one boy as he does just that and finds himself in the adventure of a lifetime when he stumbles across an old carousel. What ensues is an epic savannah standoff, a race between a griffin and dragon, and a reminder that adventure is on the other side of the everyday.
