Doodle Adventures: The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! - by Mike Lowery (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

With the rise of activity books and graphic novels in the marketplace, and with Mike Lowery's proven sales track, this is the perfect time to publish book 1 of the Doodle Adventure series at an even more accessible trade paperback format and price point!

Part game, part graphic novel, this book is a thrilling, interactive choose-your-own-adventure experience in which the reader draws themselves into the story!

Here's a DIY middle grade graphic novel series that marries the fun of drawing and doodling with a mystery tale: Doodle Adventures is a lighthearted adventure-fantasy series where the reader draws themselves into the story! Book 1, The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs!, is set in outerspace, where the reader joins Carl the duck--a member of the super-secret international group of explorers--on a journey in search of a very important grail-like object.

Following the prompts, readers fill in the blanks on each page until the story is complete. By the end of the adventure, they'll have co-written a one-of-a-kind tale (starring the reader!) that's as much a joy to read over again as it was to make. So pick up a pencil or pen, sharpen your imagination, and draw your way through the story!
