These are a lot more wholesome than the first group of stories. A lot of these would be great teaching tools in the classroom.

Nice anthology of short graphic stories about islands (some lost, some not really).
I really enjoyed The Mask Dance, Desert-Island Playlist and The Fisherman. My daughter's favorite was Radio Adrift. None of us cared much about Loah, even though I loved the graphics on that one.

This second volume leaves me with the distinct impression that everyone was on a very tight deadline and didn't have enough time to develop good plots cuz these stories suck compared to the first book.

The second installment! Radio Adrft by Katie Shanahan & Steven Shanahan was my favorite out of the bunch. Really, almost any story with a witch makes me happy. My second favorite was Carapace by Jason Caffoe. It felt like a short Pixar story in comic book form.

The art felt too fuzzy in Jake Parker's Rabbit Island but I liked the message and The Fishermen by Kazu Kibuishi was gorgeously colored by Jason Caffoe but the story was just alright.

On to Book 3!

A nice little anthology of stories on the theme of islands. Not great but a nice array of talent on display. Still wanting to try other editions.

i loved the different art styles and the wide range of stories all related to islands/water!
my fave art style was Chrystin Garland's "The Mask Dance" and my fave story was Jason Caffoe's "Carapace".
