Customer Reviews

The Doldrums was quite the read, and is a fantastic children's novel!

This wildly adventurous story kept me engaged throughout and dying to read more! Seeing the main character, Archer, develop his friendships and move past the obstacles of his over-protective mother and new neighbor were entertaining and, at times, delightful. I wish I had read this book earlier!
