    Archer finds adventures with his friends, stern teachers, escaped tigers, and lots of espresso in this charming novel, sure to please fans of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS and author Joan Aiken.

    Katie Orphan, The Last Bookstore (Los Angeles, CA)

    A perfectly gorgeous book! What a treat to get such an amazing story AND such fabulous illustrations in one package. A grand adventure for three misfit friends who find each other and, in supporting each other in their unlikely quest, discover the importance of always being true to yourself. THE DOLDRUMS reminds us that it's a good thing to be a dreamer!

    Archer Benjamin Helmsley yearns for adventure. And not just any adventure. After all, his grandparents were famous for their worldly expeditions and Archer knows that "being a Helmsley means something".  Archer's mother has different plans for him and keeps him confined to their house. Yet Archer has his creatures, his books, and his imagination and is very skilled at escaping his mother's watch. He plans his own expedition (to find his lost grandparents) and convinces his friends Oliver and Adelaide to join him in some rollicking adventures of their own. Nicholas Gannon not only has you laughing at Archer's antics, but he also includes illustrations throughout that enhance the amusement. One amazing debut.
