The Doldrums (Ukrainian title: «Погано спланована пригода») by Nicholas Gannon is the first book of an illustrated adventure series. Of the thousand children who come into the world each day, at least one turns out to be a dreamer. Archer Benjamin Helmsley is only eleven, but he dreams of a long voyage. He lives with a badger, a giraffe and an ostrich instead of a cat or a dog, and has a real intercom in his bedroom — yet his dreams stay dreams while an overprotective mother stands in the way.
Then he persuades his friends Oliver and Adelaide to help plan a rescue of his missing grandparents, world-famous explorers lost on an iceberg in Antarctica. A funny, quirky adventure about friendship and courage for readers aged 12+, with a little Wes Anderson charm.
