Journey was a breathe of fresh air when it first came out as it was different and aesthetically it was near perfection with it’s warm colours coupled with expansive landscapes of a different world. I enjoyed this book but I mist say I was a little disappointed. The imaginative world they enter is really vibrantly coloured and one can only marvel at some of the drawings like such: The scenes are done in minute detail and I found myself pausing on some pages to take in all the effort the illustrator had put into the objects displayed on the page.Ĭolour is a massive part of this book series, the ‘real’ world which the boy and girl live in are full of drab brownish hues symbolizing boredom and monotony, they both possess markers which as brightly coloured which have the power to draw special things. Becker has a real talent with watercolours. The children must travel to different areas to find these colours. This book follows on from the first one, where the children in the story must find seven magic colours to free the captured King in the imaginative city the story is set in. It is often the case in film s and books where the sequel disappoints, and this doesn’t break that trend. These books are part of a trilogy, the last book in the series coming out sometime in the future. Quest is the follow up book to Journey by Aaron Becker. In the course of my studies recently on wordless picturebooks I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book to our bookshelves.
