Review by Booklist Review
Gr. 2-4. In this graphic novel for younger children, Bumperboy and his loyal dog, Bumperpup, discover a place inhabited by a lonely, talking mountain named Jumbra. They also find small marshmallow-like beings called Grums, who tend the trees that help mountains such as Jumbra survive. But Jumbra is now the only mountain left. Someone is kidnapping the Grums, and Bumperboy must try to save them, or Jumbra will die. Although this is the second volume in a series about Bumperboy, children unacquainted with the character will have no problem getting into this stand-alone story. Huey's panel layouts are arranged for easy reading, and she uses simple, clean lines in her black-and-white illustrations, including just enough detail to give the pictures texture. The touch of suspense and dash of adventure will keep readers even older than the target audience entertained. A great addition to any library's graphic novel collection. --Kat Kan Copyright 2006 Booklist
