My daughter is a huge fan!
I haven't personally read the book, but my daughter borrowed it from the library and really likes the Cucumber Quest books. We've borrowed it a number of times from the library, so I decided to buy her her own copy. She was ecstatic! Once she got them, she took off reading the books. I highly recommend the series to anyone who loves graphic novel!

Fantastic Book w/ Bunny
Such a big fan of Cucumber Quest, the print does the comic so much justice, its so nice seeing the art like this! Good condition, came relatively quick, looking forward to later books from the publisher and Gigi D.G.

Must read
My son ordered all four books during distance learning online and I must say both myself and son enjoyed reading each book together.

Normal plot pattern is interrupted for exploration of deeper motivations (content notes included)
Our heroes head on to the Flower Kingdom to find the princess so she can sign the sword and they can continue in their quest to defeat the Nightmare Knight. But things in the Flower Kingdom don’t go quite like normal. For one thing, the royal family disappeared ages ago. For another thing, the disaster master in the Flower Kingdom is tired of going by the script. Meanwhile, Peridot is confused about which side she should be on and the Knightmare Knight shares some of his deeper secrets with friends he trusts.The plotline in this series veers from the normal in this book to explore some of the deeper motivations and backstory of how the whole quest cycle got started. It definitely adds depth to the overarching story if not being quite as adrenaline-driven as some of the other books. (There’s still some action, but there’s more chunks of dialogue and introspection than normal.) I think this series needs a character guide in the front or back of the book for readers. It is hard to keep ALL of the various side characters (there are over a dozen now) straight from book to book. That will be less of an issue when all the books are out and you can devour them one right after another, but when you have to wait several months between books it is a little challenging. I’m waffling between 3 and 4 stars for this one. I really liked the plot developments (and the scenes with the Knightmare Knight and Peridot were hilarious), but the flow of the book felt a little disjointed. So consider it 3.5. Overall, this series is a good choice for middle graders who like fantasy quests and cutesy graphic novels.Notes on content [Based on ARC]: No language issues. There are a few couples among the characters (both heterosexual and homosexual) but no kissing or anything. There are some fight scenes, but no one gets seriously hurt.I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
